Australian Cyclists Win The 2019 Tour De Singkarak
PADANG - Australian cyclist Jesse Ewart from the Malaysia Sapura Cycling Team became the overall champion of the 2019 Tour de Singkarak (TdS) international cycling championship after collecting the fastest time in the nine stages that were held.
As reported by Antara, on Sunday, November 10, he performed consistently during the championship and managed to keep track of time, so that he could maintain the yellow jersey for the Individual General Classification BY Time category, which he wore from the start. The total time recorded by Ewart is 34 hours 34 minutes 2 seconds.
"My strategy from the start was to keep the rhythm and not be too pushy so I could last until the end," said Jesse Ewart after the race.
Jesse is not always the fastest at every stage, but still enters the front group so he can maintain his timeline.
Ewart's teammate, Cristian Raileanu, also showed a positive trend. With a total time of 34 hours 35 minutes 45 seconds, Raileanu won second place in this year's TDS championship.
Meanwhile, the racer from the Omidnia Marshhad Team, Golakhour Mirsamad Pourseyedi, was unable to catch up on the last stage.
Golakhour, who in this last stage finished in tenth place, only had a total record time of 34 hours 37 minutes 59 seconds to occupy the third podium of TDS 2019.
