The Speedy Tour d’Indonesia 2010 cycling competition has decided to skip its planned fifth stage, from Semarang to Yogyakarta, due to the eruption of Mount Merapi, near Yogyakarta.
Tour chief commissionaire Jose Adolfo Cruz said Wednesday the eruption had made conditions too hazardous for the cyclists, Kompas.com reported.
A cyclist from Yogyakarta, Nugroho Krisnanto, said he was disappointed the stage had been canceled. “But it's OK because the conditions won’t allow us to race,” he added.
