Hiu Selatan is back and this year was the biggest one yet. 8th edition, 560 riders from 18 countries, and the whole town of Cilacap out on the streets. This is the biggest hard enduro race in Southeast Asia and honestly the atmosphere here is unlike anywhere else in the world.
It all started Friday night with the Downtown Prologue at Kilometre Zero. Racing under the lights in the middle of the city with thousands of people everywhere. Trystan Hart won the final ahead of Mani Lettenbichler and Alfredo Gomez.
Day 2 moved out to Jambusari and this is where the real race began. A long brutal rally through the jungle – slippery river beds, steep loose climbs, deep mud, and that Indonesian heat that destroys everyone. Hart, Lettenbichler and Roman were together all day, pushing each other on every single climb.
Day 3 was the finale. Short race format in front of an insane crowd, easily tens of thousands of people around the track. Hart held his nerve and took the overall win. Mario Roman fought hard for 2nd on his MR74 Husqvarna and Lettenbichler finished 3rd. Farel Huda was the fastest Indonesian rider and Mukhlis Adis took the Raja Tanjakan hill climb title, which the local crowd loved.
Final results – Hiu Class:
1. Trystan Hart (Canada)
2. Mario Roman (Spain)
3. Manuel Lettenbichler (Germany)
4. Alfredo Gomez (Spain)
