C. Java cyclists eye 5 golds in PON

SEMARANG (JP): Central Java cyclists were expected to win five
golds in the 15th National Games (PON) in Surabaya, East Java,
coach M. Arifin said on Monday.

"We are grooming 13 cyclists. The men's cyclists are
Nurochman, Yoshua Sudargo, Adi Prabowo, Surono, Teguh EP,
Pujiono, Febrianto, Edi Purnomo, Heru Walgito and Sulaeman and
the women's side consists of Jewarsi, Sri Suharmi and Umi," he
said.

The cyclists are now training in Surakarta and Jember in East
Java.

"We send Sri and Umi to Jember to train there. We don't have
an offroad arena for training," he said, adding that the two
cyclists were offroad riders.

He said the toughest challenges would likely come from
Jakarta, West Java and the hosts East Java.(har)
