Welcome to the Indonesian National Championships where we’re on the hilly course today. All eyes are on Indosat to not lose the title as they have a hoist of options to pick from.
Indosat leaves the catch on the break late as their increase in pace reduces the front group to 16 riders going over the penultimate climb.
With 6km to go a trio consisting of Firdaus, Novardianto and Van Aert try to cheat the big Indosat guns and go on attack.
They get a small gap but are immediately pulled back as Indosat are keen on one of their big guns taking the win.
Cahyadi opens the sprint under the red kite.
It’s technically not a win for Indosat just yet as Yudha is loaned out to Binance for the season, but the jersey will sit on the freshly maxed youngster next year who takes the sprint in dominating fashion.

For the ITT Arif Prayogo is the big favourite.
On paper Setiawa was one of two big contenders together with Mohammad but their times are lacklustre.
Which means that Arif Prayogo claims an easy title.
