Anything but a Nur Hasan win here would be a big surprise. He’s the fastest and has the best team support.
That team support shows in the lead-out of Hefnar. Van Aert has a valiant amateur rider trying to keep him close. Novardianto looks to be a bit too far behind.
But this was never going to be close anyway, and there’s no need to create fake tension: Nur Hasan makes light work of it and is the new Indonesian Champion!

Odds are the TT title will go to Indosat as well – but to which rider? Or can Jura spoil the party?
Wibisono is the strongest of the first few Indosat riders on the road. He beats Ahmad Firdaus, another strong contender, by 31 seconds.
Setiawa was the only non-Indosat rider with an outside shot at a great result here, but he doesn’t have the legs today and only ends up 6th.
So the only question remains: Will Wibisono hang on to the lead or can Prasetyo Firdaus dislodge him from the hot seat? Well, the fact that the latter even overtakes Setiawa is a decent indication of how strong he is today. By 36 seconds, Prasetyo Firdaus is the new Indonesian Champion!
