The Pishgamant Giant Team has dominated the 2015 Tour de Singkarak up to the penultimate day of the nine-stage race with Arvin Moazemi Goundarzi maintaining both the Yellow Jersey and Polka-Dot.
Goundarzi could only finish the 123.5-kilometer eighth stage, encompassing a hilly area of steep winding roads locally known as Kelok 44 at Lake Maninjau, in second place on Saturday with a time of three hours, 27 minutes and 14 seconds. But he was still ahead of stage 8 winner Ahmad Kazemi Sarai of Tabriz Petrochemical Team.
With a collection of 89 points, Goundarzi grabbed the Polka-Dot as the King of Mountain.
With only the final stage left in the race, the Yellow Jersey looks to belong to the Pishgamant team with Amir Zargari and Hossein Askari currently in second and third place. Askari also kept the Green Jersey with 14 points.
The 2015 Tour de Singkarak will end with a 148.5-kilometer race on Sunday. The stage takes place from Padangpanjang to Padang.
