Indonesia makes an amazing comeback

By Rajvinder Singh, Singapore

The Southeast Asian Games recently concluded concluded in Malaysia. For those countries in the region, these games are the mini Olympics, second only to the Asian Games in importance and prestige. As such, the cycling events are very important for all Asean nations, and competition is always very stiff and intense.

This year's games are a suprise to the traditional powerhouses of Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. Indonesia made an amazing comeback after all its internal turmoils, to win 11 out of 17 Gold medals, most in the track and time trial.

Vietnam was the suprise of the games, with wins in the women's cross country and time trials. Not bad for a country considered an outsider and relatively new to the sport. Of course, Southeast Asian cycling is not comparable to European or Australian standards, but the racing is just as competitive, popular and on its way to international standards. Malaysia hosts the Tour of Langkawi,and has two of the world's best velodromes in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh.

Indonesia has always had a rich road racing heritage, with a few cyclists racing in Holland over the years. Thailand cycling has great support and coverage, and most of the riders are employed full time by the armed forces (they are promoted each time they get an important victory!). Some of the region's cyclists have also participated in the Olympics, World Championships and World Cup events.
