Tour de East Java

SURABAYA-Throughout the six years of implementation of the Tour de East Java is still stuck in grade 2.2. Four years of implementation of this annual race Stage melombakan monotonous. Even the last two years actually decreased the number of routes that are contested.

But that TDej Tulungagung trafficked into this year sdipastikan much heavier. This can not be separated from the three stages of competition. Although only three melombakan Stage, the organizers wanted to deliver a quality race from start to finish.

Harry Enterprise (HE), as the race organizers to design a high-level competition. Racing is held this June 18-20 first melombakan route across Tulungagung-Trenggalek-Tulungagung (111.7 km), Stage-two Tulungagung Blitar-Pare-Kediri-Tulungagung (154.9 km) and the third Stage criterion (6.7 km x 15 laps) in Tulungagung certainly not easy to follow.

Like the first Stage two mile hill at 62 and a second ramp at 70 miles. The sidelines of the two flights that have a derivative. After the first rise from a height of 170.7 m above sea level down to a height of 20 m above sea level. Furthermore the drivers directly faced the incline to the height of 208.3 m above sea level. While to get to the second height, the distance is only 5 km.

"I do not think the weight. Because after the second grade, all the drivers get a bonus derivative. While sprinter, they'll chase after all the flights go through," I am the Director of HE, Harijanto Tjondrokusumo, Tuesday (19 / 1).
Likewise with the second Stage that gave rise not too high. Only 382 m above sea level and is 10 km, certainly passable. "We want to deliver the quality and challenge. Where is the gap in the standings each of the drivers are no longer bound up minutes, but seconds. Until last Stage scramble competition is still going individual and team champions," he explained.

Harijanto expect participants who come more competitive. With the arrival of a competitive team, the quality of racing is getting better. Even this year only three teams have confirmed attendance. Like Giant Taiwan, Tabriz Petrochemical of Iran, and Japan had confirmed Aisan himself took part. They just send enrollment several weeks before the race, after an internal selection. (*)
