Tung was scouted by one of the previous team of manager BrokenChain of Universal Soup. However, that team was focused on climbing and Lâng Huu Tung fell not at ease. He wasn't a great rider to be, but felt he had sufficient potential to be at least trained properly. Because BrokenChain could not offer him this, he asked for a transfer and got wat he wanted.
For 45k he joined the top team PJMcycles. His dreams were to become a great hiller like Anže Hrovat, his idol from Slovenia, had been. Harsh was it then, when PJMcycles did not train him to his full potential. Maybe it's because his hill capability didn't reach the top of the class. Whatever it was, Lâng Huu Tung has not grieved over this but did his utmost best for the team. This was noticed by Snowbear of the team Alpine and he joined their ranks after a good 2 seasons.

There he was an appreciated hill helper until BrokenChain now managing team Universal Soup was knocking on the door.
At first reluctant to join, the negotiations were started, but as it turned out it was nothing some cash couldn't fix. Now enjoying a nice house in central Vietnam he joined Universal Soup. He supported the captains and even had some chances to race for himself. Grabbing a win in GP de Valparaíso #24 in season 51 and 3 podiums in season 49. Which were also the highlights of his carreer.
After his cycling career he continued to work with BrokenChain to develop riders for team Universal Soup until he has made enough money to retire completely, still living in that beautiful house he negotiated at his transfer.
