Tale of the Trail: Borneo TMBT Ultra

You can now watch our race recap of last weekend’s 10th anniversary of Borneo TMBT Ultra in Sabah, Malaysia, on our ATM YouTube channel or just here below on ATM Web. It will also be uploaded to our Facebook Page. Local hero Milton Amat won the flagship 109km race for the third time after 2017 and 2019. Just like before covid, Amat had to deal with the challenge of Japanese star Hisashi Kitamura, but the latter did not manage to reach his full potential this time around. Yakov Kozlov was a great third on the podium. The women’s 109km was dominated by Sieh Fat Lim, ahead of Sally Yap and Izzah Hazirah for a Malaysia clean-sweep on the podium. Not so on the 50k race category, where Singapore-based Belgian Vanja Cnops dominated proceedings ahead of Law Guan Shin and Megan Davies. The men’s 50k saw France’s Pierre-Victor Morales take the victory in a superb battle with Yasbie Ismail. The latter, unfortunately, got penalised for a mandatory gear infringement after the finish line. This moved Muhamad Affindi up to 2nd place and Jude Maikol to third.

The next Malaysian points race in ATM is the 100km of Ultimate Trails of Penang on 8/9 October.
