Malaysian riders join Siwo race

JAKARTA (JP): Malaysia announced yesterday it would send a team of three riders to the annual track cycling race at the Rawamangun velodrome, East Jakarta, this weekend.

Secretary-general of the Indonesian Cycling Association Hussein Kartasasmita said that Malaysia did not unveil the team lineup but he expected former Asian sprint champion Alwi, Mochamad Suhaimi and Kumaresan Murugayan to be the chosen riders.

Alwi and Suhaimi came here for the invitational races organized by the Jakarta-based sports journalists association last year, taking a bronze each. The Malaysians are expected to arrive today. (amd)
