JAKARTA The international BMX Indonesia Cup 2023 bicycle racing Championship will be held at the BMX Jakarta International circuit, Pulomas, East Jakarta on Sunday, July 23. The championship is the 3rd series of the five scheduled series.

The previous two series were held in March and May. This championship has also received recognition from the international cycling organization Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

This achievement has already obtained a license from UCI, so elite class participants will get additional points. So don't be surprised if the participants also come from abroad, because this is indeed an event recognized by UCI. In the previous series, foreign participants came from the UK, United States, China, South Korea, Sigapura, Hong Kong, and Malaysia," said Angga Dwi Putra, Chairman of the 2023 BMX Indonesia Cup Committee.

This championship is divided into age groups ranging from 7-8 years, juniors, to elite classes filled with top Indonesian BMX riders. They need to get points in order to participate in international championships, to appear in the Olympics.

Currently, 100 participants in the 2023 BMX Indonesia Cup series III Championship have registered. However, Angga regretted the lack of attention, both from the government through the Ministry of Youth and Sports, PB ISSI, to sponsors.

"Currently we are still struggling to make the Indonesia Cup more established. There has been no sponsorship or more attention from the government through the Indonesian Ministry of Youth and Sports and PB ISSI. But we are sure, one day that hope will come true because we have worked hard," said Angga again.
