Read moreIndonesia is host to only five races in the world of OCM. However, one of them is this classic hosted in Brebes, which is enclosed by the Java Sea in the north and some active volcanoes located in southern direction of Brebes. The riders won’t come close to either of these sites though, but will instead face lots of dirt roads in this classic on Java.
Heading south, the first 50 kilometers are relatively easy, with almost only asphalted roads. After then though, it will get hard, with the dirt and gravel roads showing up once in a while. Especially the ten kilometers from kilometer point 60 will be very defiant for all the riders participating here, with only narrow, winding gravel roads.
After some kilometers of rest, the last few dirt and gravel roads are to be conquered by the riders with 20 kilometers to go. From here on, straight roads will lead to the long, straight finish line in Brebes, where the surviving sprinters may fight for the win.
