The 3rd edition of the Tour de Bintan is remaining faithful to its roots and hosting an epic cycling challenge that unveils the beautiful and little known parts of Bintan island.

The race covers a total distance of 273km over 2 days excluding the 10km prologue added to the three stages this year for Category 1, 2 and Women. This will allow for a performance-based selection of Category 2 cyclists and is expected to change the dynamics of stage 1 for Category 1 and Women.

Given the growing appeal of the event to ‘newer’ cyclists, the 2012 editions presents the first Gran Fondo “Tropicale” for recreational cyclists, where it’s all about completing the ‘Big Ride’.

Good luck with your training, and see you on the Road!

"The Tour de Bintan is a great race with scenic surroundings, a varied terrain and certainly a testing route!"
Cameron Meyer, World Champion

It was all my pleasure to race in such a great organized Tour. Hope to be there again next year.

THANK you and your team from MetaSport for organizing a wonderful Tour De Bintan!  From the beginning till the end, instructions were clear, race was safe, results swift and the whole atmosphere was just absolutely perfect, just like what a good race should be.

Thank you to the MetaSport team for a most enjoyable Tour de Bintan. It was an excellent event and I had nothing but a wonderful experience.
Matt Clugston, Challenger, Stage 1

The terrain was fantastic with no really punishing climbs, just rolling hills where you could keep up a good speed. 
I have never seen an event like this in Europe and if I can arrange the time off of work I will come out again next year, although I have no idea how I can prepare for the weather and potential cramps!  Well done to all involved, it was a great event and a perfect end to my season, hopefully see you in 2012.
Matthew Hobbs from London

It was a great weekend, well done to you and all the MetaSport team.
Robert Hensby, Category 1 Rider
