Should be an interesting battle with four solid climbers. Indosat certainly has the strength in numbers.

With the exception of Suryadi and Nur Hasan, all of the pro riders entered the flat part before the final climb together. Arifin is the first to attack, Rohendi managed to be immediately in his wheel. The two have a small gap to Hibatullah and Novardianto, then the large Indosat crew.
Rohendi really pushes the pace and the two extend their lead to 30 seconds with 3.5 km to go. Wibisono attacked further behind to catch up to the two chasers.
Under the red kite, neither of the two leaders look super fresh anymore, but they should have a big enough gap to hold everyone else off.
They don’t even seem to have an acceleration in them, but Arifin takes a small lead …
… and he converts it! The title goes to the top favorite and the home team!

Anything but a win by Arif Prayogo would be a massive shock here today.
Setiawa does his best to make this race at least a little competitive, 1h05’33 is a respectable time …
… but let’s not make this artificially tense. Arif Prayogo takes this home with ease. Third place to Novardianto.
