🌟 2025 Taiwan KOM Challenge 🌟

NEW ROUTE, NEW ADVENTURE!

The 2025 TAIWAN KOM PACIFIC CLASSIC is here!

203km + 2337m!

For over a decade, the Taiwan KOM Challenge has almost always featured Taiwan’s highest road, through Taroko Gorge up to Wuling Mountain at 3,275 m. But recent years have brought devastating earthquakes, typhoons, and torrential rains to eastern Taiwan. Persistent landslides and damaged roads have, unfortunately, made the traditional route unsafe for mass participation events this year, and, on advice from local authorities, we have sought out a new route.

So in late October 2025, we’re taking the Challenge in a bold, new direction—along Taiwan’s breathtaking East Coast! 🌊🏔️

We adapt, we change, we grow.

New Route Highlights:

�🚴 203 km along the Pacific coastline.�

⛰️ Over 2,300m of climbing, rivalling Europe’s toughest one-day races.�

🏄‍♂️ Scenic villages, pristine farmland, beaches and untouched coastal mountains.

Same KOM Spirit, Different Route.

Ride it. Feel it. Make it your story.

For 2026 we sincerely hope to return to Taroko Gorge and the traditional KOM route - but for now, let’s make new memories on this new route!

🔗 Registration is OPEN NOW.

Don’t miss your chance to conquer the Pacific Classic!

Unlike previous years, the KOM this year links the stunning Pacific coastline of Hualien and Taitung, then crosses the Niu Shan ridges and the Yuchang Highway over the Coastal Mountain Range before looping back to Hualien. With two climbs over Niu Shan and the Yuchang Highway, riders will face a tot...

Former Taiwan KOM Challenge participant SIMON YATES WINS the GIRO!

Simon Yates delivered an unexpected masterclass at the 2025 Giro d’Italia, securing his first Maglia Rosa and second Grand Tour title in a dramatic and emotional finale. His triumph was sealed with a decisive solo attack on Stage 20, where he overturned a significant deficit to overtake race leader Isaac del Toro. Whilst del Toro's tactics on Stage 20 were questionable to say the least, Yates' performance - and that of his teammate Wout Van Aert - were perfect.

Yates ultimately finished 3 minutes and 56 seconds ahead of Del Toro, with Richard Carapaz completing the podium in third place.

Yates's victory is particularly poignant given a previous disaster in the Giro. In 2018, he wore the Maglia Rosa for 13 stages before a dramatic collapse on the penultimate stage, losing his lead to Chris Froome. This year's triumph, achieved on the very climb where he faltered seven years prior, symbolizes a full-circle moment in his career.

Beyond his Grand Tour successes, Yates has shown a commitment to diverse racing experiences. In 2023, he participated in the Taiwan KOM Challenge! Unfortunately, he crashed out during the event, and we sincerely hope that he will return one day to take part once again in the event!

The final stage culminated in a sprint victory for his Visma-Lease a Bike teammate, Olav Kooij. Kooij outpaced Kaden Groves and Matteo Moschetti to claim the stage win.

🏆 Final General Classification (Top 3)
1. Simon Yates (Team Visma – Lease a Bike)
2. Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates) +3'56"
3. Richard Carapaz (EF Education–EasyPost) +4'43"

🚴 Stage 21 Top 3 Finishers
1. Olav Kooij (Team Visma – Lease a Bike)
2. Kaden Groves (Alpecin–Deceuninck)
3. Matteo Moschetti (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team)

Below is a video from just after Stage 20, and you can see quite clearly what it means to him to have reclaimed the famous Pink Jersey....

Well done Simon!
