Le Tour de Langkawi 2022 – Stage 1 – Kuala Pilah – Kuala Lumpur : 157,3 km

The Tour of Langkawi is a week-long stage race held in the southeast Asian country of Malaysia. The race is named after the Langkawi archipelago, a chain of 99 islands where the inaugural edition in 1996 started and finished. The 26-year-old race was created by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad in a bid to put the nation on the world’s sporting map. Upon its inception it was Asia’s most lucrative bike race, with a total prize pot of 1.1 million Malaysian Ringgit, or 208,710 British Pounds.

Gleb Syritsa (Astana Qazaqstan) won the opening stage of the Tour de Langkawi, taking victory in Kuala Lumpur, on a rain soaked straight in front of the iconic Petronas Towers.

Erlend Blikra (Uno-X) came second while it was a third place for Max Kanter (Movistar) as the bunch sprinted through the puddles, which formed after a deluge that sent waiting crowds scurrying for cover had swept through just before the riders came to the finish line. It returned in time for a sodden podium presentation as the heavy tropical rain turned the puddles into pools.

There was nothing, however that could dampen a first professional victory for 22-year-old Syritsa, who repaid the work his team had put in to pull the initial break of 9 back during the stage which was punctuated by five categorised climbs.

“I am very happy. I can not believe it,” Syritsa told reporters after the stage.

Syritsa had only joined Astana Qazaqstan as a trainee in August, quickly delivering with a second in stage 2 of the Arctic race of Norway and on the opening stage of the Tour de Slovakia, and then shifting up a step in only his fifth race, and little more than two months, with the team .

How it unfolded The return of the 2.Pro ranked Tour de Langkawi, which was cancelled in 2021, got underway to the south of Kuala Lumpur in Kuala Pilah. It was typically warm and humid, with the sweat already dripping for sign on beside the start, which was lined with cheering school children in a town nestled within the heavily forested hills.

As the riders set off on the 157.3km stage past a golden topped mosque, they were quick to form a break of nine. None of the six WorldTour teams in the race were represented in its ranks, instead leaving the early move for others. It comprised of Trym Holther (Drone Hopper – Androni Giocattoli), Carter Bettles (ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast), Jambaljamts Sainbayar (Terengganu Polygon) and his teammate Nur Aiman Zariff, Tiano Da Silva (ProTouch), Peerapol Chawchiangkwang (Thailand), Etienne van Empel (China Glory), along with Nik Zulkifli (Malaysia) and John Salazar (Philippines).

The group quickly stretched out a lead as they headed toward an opening challenge with the first sprint points of the day at 12.3km almost immediately followed by a category 3 climb at 16.1km. The next test was the category 2, Bukit Miku, cresting at 43.2km. By then the gap to the peloton had extended to 9:30, with Muhammad Abdurrahman (Mula) sitting between at 3:50 back from the lead group.

The second and third sprint points through one of the flatter, although still undulating, sections of the race lead to the Mantin category 3 climb at 85.2km Some riders were starting to be shaken loose from the break. Holther, Da Silva and Salazar were among those initially absorbed back into the peloton.

As the riders approached the last 30km of racing, in a stage which was being showered with sporadic bursts of rain, they were facing up to two category 2 climbs in quick succession, Tekali at 131km, which had monkeys sitting on the roadside just before the race came through almost appearing to be looking to see what the spectacle was all about. Then there was Look Out Point peaking at 143.6km and making clear the forest was about to give way to the city as the views of Kuala Lumpur opened up just over the top.

The break reeling in process had been continuing on the run into those two climbs, with Astana Qazaqstan taking charge and then other teams like EF-Education EasyPost and Movistar joining in. Some of the front group managed to hold out on the first climb with Sainbayar taking top points, followed by Chawchiangkwang and Bettles but the group was all back together for the second climb and, despite some pushing of the pace on Look Out Point, it was all together for the run in to the finish line.

There Syritsa was awarded the stage and yellow jersey of the race winner, as well as the sprinters jersey, while it was Sainbayar who took out the climbers classification after his persistence in the break and also the best Asian rider white jersey.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage eight report.

The 26th edition of the PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2022 came to an end with Alex Molenaar of Burgos-BH taking the final stage in a rain-soaked race which saw Colombian Ivan Sosa confirming his status as overall winner.

The 23-year-old Molenaar added his third career win as a pro after winning a duel against Alpecin-Deucininck’s Jason Osborne, after a successful early breakaway with three other riders to complete the Stage 8 115.9km Kuah Loop race in 2 hrs 25 minutes 37 seconds.

Molenaar, who became the Netherlands’ sixth stage winner in the history of LTdL, was in a six-men breakaway group early in the race and showed strong contention to remain until the later part of the race.

Colombian Ivan Sosa had a good day, riding safely and was well protected by his team to finally confirm his status as the overall winner of the 26th edition of the race, his third major feat since 2019.

Despite multiple attacks from the peloton, Muhammad Nur AimanZariff defended his position as leader in the mountains classification, finally winning the Proton red jersey for the second time since 2020.

Team’s Jambaljamts Sainbayar proved his mettle after winning the overall Asian white jersey as Best Asian rider.

The final GC podium, from left: Hugh Carthy (2nd), Ivan Sosa (1st) & Torstein Traeen (3rd).

“It didn't cross my mind that I will win a stage here. I didn’t expect the win but I’m truly happy with the outcome. It’s good for my reputation as I’m also looking for a new contract for next season…so this win might help a lot,” said Molenaar.

Yellow jersey winner Sosa was relieved, saying that ending the season with a Pro race victory was indeed meaningful.

“It was a fast race and the breakaway group were riding strongly. It was difficult for us to catch up, but in the end, it was all good and I’m very happy with the outcome.

“The win is very important as it helps boost my confidence and would help to boost my racing career,” said Sosa, who was unshakeable in yellow which he held since Stage 3 in Genting Highlands and has now won three titles in the last three years which include the Tour de Provence in 2021, last year’s Vuelta a Asturias and the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi 2022.

Muhammad Nur Aiman’s feat as King of Mountains made up for the TSG’s disappointment following the disqualification of its top rider Hariff Saleh.

“I’m truly grateful for this win. Winning the red jersey for the second time meant so so much to me as the challenge this year is far more competitive than in 2020 due to the presence of so many good riders and top teams.

However, the 2020 experience has taught me a lot, to be calmer and remained focussed today and ride safely to the end,” said Muhammad Nur Aiman.

Sainbayar kept his slim one-second lead till the end to take the Best Asian Rider title, winning over closest rival Andrey Zeits of Astana Qazaqatan to help  TSG emerge as the Best Asian Team.

Movistar lived up to their top billings to take the Best Overall Team title, ahead of closest rival EF Education-EasyPost with a 4 minutes 9 seconds advantage followed by Uno-X Pro Cycling Team in third.

Route change notice: The race organizer posted this update regarding the race course:

Route for tomorrow’s Stage 7 of the PETRONAS 26th Le Tour de Langkawi 2022 has been changed due to bad weather conditions, according to race organisers.

The race’s President Commissaire has agreed and decided that Stage 8 route from Kuah-Kuah will be used for tomorrow’s Stage 7 race.

“Following meetings with the local authorities which include the Road Works Department, Langkawi District Office and Langkawi District Traffic Safety Committee, it was decided that the Stage 7 finish at the summit of Gunung Raya is cancelled due to concerns on safety of riders, teams, race entourage and the public.

"The cancellation was made due to the landslides which occurred at four locations in Gunung Raya.

"As such, the President Commissaire of the race has agreed that Stage 8 route will be used for tomorrow’s Stage 7 race,” the organisers said tonight.

Tomorrow’s stage (17 October) will start at 2.00 pm and is expected to end at 4.30 pm, the organisers said. 

The Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) today confirmed that areas affected by floods were Kampung Teluk Yu, Kampung Kilim and Kampung Telaga Ayer Hangat in Ayer Hangat; Kampung Belanga Pecah in Kuah; Bukit Kemboja and Sungai Melaka in Padang Matsirat; and Empangan Padang Saga in Ulu Melaka.

It was also reported that landslides occurred in Ulu Melaka and Jalan Gunung Raya while trees were uprooted in the districts of Ulu Melaka, Ayer Hangat, Kuah and Bohor.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage 7 summary.

The 26th PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2022 turned out to be a happy hunting ground for Alpecin-Deceuninck as Bax Sjoerd scored another win for the Belgium-based outfit in Stage 7 which ended in Kuah today.

It was Alpecin’s third stage win in a space of four days after Jakub Mareczko and Lionel Taminiaux had delivered back-to-back victories in Stage 4 and 5 respectively.

With the much-awaited summit finish at Gunung Raya scrapped and replaced with the Stage 8 Langkawi Loop, it was left to the sprinters to hog the limelight as the peloton hit an average speed of 45kph throughout the race.

The 26-year-old Dutchman, fresh from his win in Coppa Agostini Giro delle Brianze (1.1) 18 days ago, beating world’s top names including Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and Nibali Vicenzo (Astana), proved his mettle with a strong final sprint to edge Willem Smit of China Glory Continental Team with a time of 2:20.52s.

Adria Moreno of Burgos, who was among the three leaders in the final loop, came in third while green jersey leader Max Kanter of Movistar finished ninth with a deficit of 31 seconds.

The victory came as a sweet farewell gift for Bax, who started his pro career with the Rabobank Development Team in 2015 – who is set to join WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates next year on a two-year contract.

“It’s my first Pro race win here and it’s quite emotional for me. The team has been riding amazingly this week…I felt good today to have a go at the podium.

“I flew into Malaysia in good form after winning my first pro race in the Coppa Agostini race last month.. but the heat here has taken a toll on me in the first few stages. But now, I’m fine. It was less hectic today,  I managed to catch the leaders before sprinting out at the right time,” said Bax, the first Dutchman to win a stage in LTdL.

There were intermediate sprints on offer at 30.8km, 89.5km and 98.3km which were won by Eduard Grosu (Hopper Androni), Willie Smit (China Glory) and Adria Moreno (Burgos BH) respectively.

Uno-X’s Erland Blikra (40 points) remained as the green jersey leader with a two points advantage over closest rival Max Kanter (40 points), with Astana’s Gleb Syritsa following in a close third (39 points).

There were no changes in the mountains classification standings as Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team rider Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff rode safely to continue as leader with 29 points, on level terms with teammate Jambaljamts Sanbayar.

Today’s two categorised climbs at Lebuhraya Langkawi (91km and 99.8km) were won by Smit (China Glory) and Moreno respectively.

The battle for Asian Best rider climaxes tomorrow with Sainbayar holding just a one-second advantage over Andrey Zeits of Astana and with three intermediate sprints on offer, expect some fierce battle between the duo tomorrow.

With the removal of Gunung Raya in this year’s route, Movistar’s Ivan Sosa ensured the yellow jersey on his back since Genting stage and is likely to emerge overall winner as the race heads for its finale tomorrow with the same Kuah-Langkawi Loop route.

107.1 kilometers raced at an average speed of 45.618 km/hr.

Erlend Blikra wins a wet stage.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage 6 summary.

Norwegian Erlend Blikra sprinted away to his first major professional win after finishing tops in Stage 6 of the 26th PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2022 which ended in Alor Setar today.

The 25-year-old lanky Uno-X Pro Cycling Team sprinter put himself in a good position to upstage the favourites and clinched the unexpected win in 3 hours 49 minutes 42 seconds.

It was Blikra’s first win in a major ProSeries race after coming in close in second spot behind Astana’s Gleb Syritsa in the first stage in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

Syritsa, among the leading favourites to win the stage, came in second followed by Lotto Soudal’s Rudiger Selig. 

Sprints classification leader Max Kanter found himself in fifth and had to surrender the leader’s green jersey to Blikra, who is now the second Norwegian to win a stage in LTdL. Bjornar Vestol of Acceptcard Pro Cycling had won a stage in Johor Bharu in the 1999 edition of the race.

Racing in wet conditions throughout the 120.4km route with three intermediate sprints, an early breakaway comprising a six-men group which include local young rider Kee Zhie Yie were allowed to escape but were later pulled back into the peloton with 10km left of the route.

The Terengganu-born 19-year-old Kee, who is part of the Terengganu Polygon Cycling development team, showed great potential after coming in first in the third intermediate sprint in Sungai Petani, and second in the first two sprints in Penang Bridge and Bagan.

Blikra said there were no clear tactics from the top teams towards the final part of the race due to the rain and wet conditions. Lotto-Soudal, Astana and Alpecin were seen working extra hard to prepare their sprinters but in the end, Blikra paced the favourites before coming out from his position before launching a strong sprint.

“This is my first professional win and I’m very happy to be able to win it here. I’m really happy as we missed the win in the first stage and yesterday, we missed the breakaway.

"Today, perhaps due to the rain and slippery route, the sprint was less hectic. There were no clear tactics from the top teams, and I took full advantage of the situation, went out early and ensured my position till the finishing line,” said Blikra.

Blikra is now in green as the points classification leader after amassing 40 points with Gleb Syritsa following in a close second with only a point separating them.  Movistar’s Max Kanter, who led the sprints classification yesterday, surrendered his position and pushed to third with 37 points.

Race leader Ivan Sosa remained in yellow despite a mechanical problem encountered in the later part of the race, with the same time advantage of 23 seconds over close contender Hugh Carthy of EF Education-EasyPost.

No changes in the King of Mountains’ red jersey as current leader Muhammad Nur Aiman of Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team prepares himself for tomorrow’s deciding stage in Gunung Raya (Stage 7).

Nur Aiman is now in the lead, tied with teammate Jambaljamts Sainbayar on 29 points, with Sosa following closely with 25 points.

Sanbayar, still the Asian leader, is also expected to give his all in tomorrow’s Category 1 climb Gunung Raya climb which at 864 metres, is Langkawi’s highest peak.

Tomorrow’s Stage 7 is expected to decide on the eventual overall winner but expect some stiff competition in the sprints as well as there are three intermediate sprints at Telaga Harbour (31.8km), Teluk Yu (45.1km) and Kuah at 63.8km point.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage five summary.

Alpecin-Deceuninck was on the podium again. The team clinched their second successive stage win in the 26th PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi when Lionel Taminiaux won Stage 7 in a close sprint duel which ended in Kulim, Kedah today.

The 26-year-old Belgian sprinter edged Julius van den Berg of EF Education-EasyPost to grab his second win this year after winning Stage 4 in the 4 Jours de Dunkerque/Grand Prix des Haunts de France in May.

Yesterday, Alpecin took their first victory with Jakub Mareczko winning a Stage 4 in a bunch sprint finish in Ipoh.

Taminiaux kept Van den Berg, who last won a stage in Tour de Pologne last year, closely in check in the last 200 metres and finally outsprinted the lanky Dutchman with 50 metres left to take the stage in 3 hours 41 minutes and 42s.

ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast Carter Bettles came in third with a four seconds deficit while frontrunners and 2017 winner Ryan Gibbons of UAE Team Emirates and Movistar’s Max Kanter finished fourth and fifth respectively with a nine-second gap behind the winner.

“I’m happy with the win and the team worked well with good strategy today. Movistar set a good pace towards the climb and few good sprinters were dropped.

"I took my chances and it was a bit of gambling towards the end of the race…but I took my chances well.  I felt good and always knew that I have a strong sprint to finally outsprint Van Den Berg with about 50 metre to the finish,” said Taminiaux, a pro since 2015.

While Movistar’s Ivan Sosa remains in yellow as general classification leader for the third consecutive day and Terengganu Polygon Cycling team Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff continues to keep the red mountains jersey, there were changes in leaders in the sprints classification and KBS white jersey for Asian category.

After five days of racing, Max Kanter, who came in fifth today, took over the sprinter’s green jersey from Astana’s Gleb Syritsa who was two rungs down to third spot in the sprints classification.

Movistar’s Kanter lived up to his top billings, snatching seven points in the two intermediate sprints which put him in the lead with 31 points, with Taminiaux following closely with 30 points and Syritsa (27).

New Asian leader, Jambaljamts Sanbayar of TSG, was also aggressive soon after the race was flagged off from Kuala Kangsar, raking in valuable points after winning the KOM climb in Sumpitan, which gave him an advantage of one second over previous leader Andrey Zeits of Astana Qazaqstan.

Sosa arrived safely in yellow in the main pack and continues to lead the general classification with 23 seconds over EF Education’s Hugh Carthy.

Movistar is now in the driving seat in team classification while Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team is Asia’s best team with a 21-minute gap over Thailand Continental Team.

Tomorrow’s Stage 6 over a distance of 120.4km from Georgetown to Alor Setar presents sprinters with another shot for the podium with three intermediate sprints offered at Penang Bridge (7.8km), Bagan (25.5km) and in Sungai Petani at 63.9km.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage four summary.

Jakub Mareczko of Alpecin-Deceuninck sprinted to his fourth PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi stage victory after edging Ludiger Selig of Lotto Soudal to win Stage 4 of the 2022 edition from Sabak Bernam to Meru Jaya in Ipoh today.

The 28-year old rider, who won two stages in 2017 and a stage in 2016 edition of the race, edged off Selig in a close bunch sprint which saw the Italian finishing first in 3:15.37s.

With 2km to go, Mareczko, whose palmares include winning the Tour of Taihu Lake and stage wins in Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, was timely set-up by his team for the sprint in the race which saw a group of riders crashing down in the final kilometre.

There were however no changes in jersey holders as all four leaders kept their leader’s jerseys intact when the 137.9km stage ended in Meru Jaya in Ipoh.

The day started aggressively with 110 riders on the starting line in Sabak Bernam.

While climbers were happy to stay back and take respite after yesterday’s gruelling climb, sprinters were aggressive from the start with three riders breaking away just after five kilometres.

Points classification contender Jambaljamts Sanbayar of Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team (TSG), Ricardo Zurita (Drone Hopper) and Ryuki Uga of Ukyo formed a three-man breakaway group, holding on until the later stage of the race before being pulled back into the peloton in the final 10kilometres.

For Sanbayar however, his aggressive move paid off after sweeping all intermediate sprints at Hutan Melintang (14.1km), 60.6km mark at Kg. Gajah and Tanjung Tualang at 85.3km to close the gap in the points classification.

Sanbayar is now only one second behind sprint classification leader Andrey Zeits of Astana Qazaqstan who finished the day as leader in the Asian category (white jersey).

Astana’s Gleb Syritsa remained as leader in sprints classification with 27 points with Erlend Blikra (Uno-X) trailing closely in the second spot (25 points) while today’s stage winner Mareczko in third with 24 points.

“Unlike yesterday, today was a great stage for us… the team did a great job to put me in a good position for the sprint… I’m happy to have clinched my fourth win here today,” said Mareczko.

Michael Grosu of Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli came in third along with other top sprint contenders including Erlend Blikra of Uno-X and Max Kanter of Movistar finishing in the top ten spot.

Race leader Ivan Sosa was kept safe in his yellow after finishing today’s race with the same time gap of 23 seconds ahead of closest rival Hugh Carthy of EF Education-EasyPost.

With no categorised climb in today’s stage, TSG’s Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff, who aimed to repeat his KOM achievement in 2020, continues to lead the mountain classification with 29 points. Sosa is close behind with 25 points while Hugh Carthy is in a close third with 24 points.

Tomorrow’s Stage 5 over a distance of 172km from Kuala Kangsar to Kulim is expected to end in another bunch sprint with three intermediate sprints at Lenggong (34.2km), Selama (101.9km), Karangan at 149km and a category 2 climb in between at Sumpitan (62.5km).

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage three summary.

Movistar's Ivan Ramiro Sosa lived up to his reputation as one of the race’s leading mountain men after winning the gruelling Genting Highlands stage under heavy rain and thick fog to emerge as the 26th PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi new leader today.

Continuing Colombians’ domination in the queen stage climb, the Pasca-born Sosa is now the ninth Colombian to win the Genting stage in the race’s 26-year history.

The 24-year-old climber was locked in a close battle with EF Education-EasyPost’s Hugh Carthy in the final kilometre after breaking away from the main peloton at the 9km to go mark.

Both Sosa and Carthy, former Vuelta Espana stage winner, rode hard side by side but the former timed his attack well in the last 1km, dropping Carthy to race to the finish line in 3hr 25.21s, 19 seconds ahead of British rider.

The stage begins

Sosa, who won this year’s Vuelta Asturias Julio Alvarez Mendo, currently holds a slight advantage of 23 seconds over Carthy, with Monday’s penultimate mountain stage in Gunung Raya (Stage 7) in Langkawi,  could now likely be the decider.

“I’m happy with the win as this has been our target since arriving here. The team worked hard and the stage went well as planned,” said Sosa.

“Our tactics were to remain alert throughout the race, find the right time to attack…and that moment came at the 1km to go mark and it paid off.”

Movistar’s Augusto Einer Rubio and EF’s Esteban Chaves were the two other Colombians who dominated the stage, with Rubio coming in third while Chaves completed the course in fourth place respectively.

Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team’s (TSG) Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff remained in the King of Mountains’ Proton Red jersey and was happy with the outcome of today’s stage.

“It was our tactic to go aggressive right from the start to pick up points in the first two categorised climbs as we planned to keep the red jersey today,” said Nur Aiman.

Nur Aiman snatched full points in the two categorised climbs at Tekali (32.6km) and Look Out Point at 67.2km, which gave the Marang-born rider the lead in the mountain classifications with 29 points, with Ivan Sosa in a close second (25 points) and Hugh Carthy in third with 24 points.

Astana’s Gleb Syritsa who lost his yellow to Sosa, kept his PETRONAS green jersey, leading the point classification with 27 points, followed by Uno-X’s Erland Blikra with 19 points.

Andrey Zeits (Astana Qazaqstan) won the KBS white jersey, leading the Asian category with a 10s advantage over TSG’s Jambaljamts Sanbayar who completed today’s climb in 11th spot in 3:28.10s.

With three intermediate sprints and no categorised climbs, no major shake ups are expected in tomorrow’s Stage 5 which covers a distance of 137.9km from Sabak Bernam to Meru Raya Ipoh.

112 riders started, 2 riders disqualified, 110 classified finishers.

123.7 kilometers raced at an average speed of 34.95 km/hr

Wednesday, October 12: Stage 2, Kuala Klawang - Raub, 178.9 km

Juan Sebastian Molano was a bit faster than the others today. He was later relegated for pushing Raymond Kreder in the sprint.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage two summary.

Colombian Juan Sebastian Molano of UAE Team Emirates claimed Stage 2 of the PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2022 winner’s medal but was disqualified afterwards due to what the jury said as “irregular sprinting”.

The decision was made by the President of Commissaire panel hours after Stage 2 had ended in Raub which saw a tight bunch sprint finish involving Molano, Australian Craig Wiggins and General Classification leader Gleb Syritsa of Astana.

With Molano’s disqualification, second-placed rider Craig Wiggins of ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast was promoted as Stage 2 winner while Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Jakub Mareczko took the third spot.

Molano’s victory was supposed to be a sweet feat following his recent stage win in this year’s Vuelta Espana.

Following the disqualification, Molano has been relegated to 109th position in the General Classification standings after two days of racing.

Except for the Proton King of Mountains jersey, there were no changes in three other jerseys with Astana’s Gleb Syritsa remaining in the leader’s yellow and sprint jerseys.

While Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team’s Jambaljamts Sanbayar, still leads the Asian Best rider category with Thailand Continental Team’s Peerapol Chanwchiangkwang trailing closely in second spot.

The Astana train was active in the last 5km, preparing Syrista for the final sprint but in the end, had to settle for the third spot despite being in a good position to repeat yesterday’s win in Kuala Lumpur.

Local rider Mohamad Izzat Hilmi Abdul Halil was the toast of the national team, bringing cheers to the Malaysian camp after emerging as the stage's Best Asian rider.

However, Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team’s Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff, SEA Games gold medallist and LTdL 2020 King of Mountains winner, hogged the limelight after winning today’s two categorised climbs to snatch the mountains classification leader’s jersey from teammate Jambaljamts Sanbayar, and going into tomorrow’s crucial Genting stage with the red jersey on his back.

Nur Aiman rode well in the early part of the race, winning both categorised climbs at 8.2km in Petasih and Category 3 climb at Bukit Damar (122.8km).

Sanbayar remained as a leader in the Asian category after placing himself third overall in the general classification standings.

“Our plan worked well and I’m happy to be able to head for the decisive stage in Genting tomorrow with the red jersey on my back. I’ll give my all and hopefully, we will able to deliver good results tomorrow,” said Nur Aiman.

Complete updated results: These results reflect Juan Sebastian Molano's relegation to 109th.

The race: Here’s the report from stage winner Gleb Syritsa’s Team Astana Qazaqstan.

Team’s trainee Gleb Syritsa took the opening stage of the 2.Pro stage race Le Tour de Langkawi. Syritsa won the bunch sprint on the streets of Kuala Lumpur after an impressive work of all Astana Qazaqstan Team riders during the whole day.

“Of course, I am really happy with this victory and with the fact that I was able to finalize all that work my teammates did today. We spent a good stage, all the team was helping and supporting me during the entire day. Andrey Zeits and Igor Chzhan worked hard in front and helped to bring the daily breakaway back, while later all other guys went in front to bring me to a perfect position for the sprint. The final of the stage was impacted by a heavy rain, it was not easy to control the situation, but at the end of the day it did not change that much. I feel quite good under the rain, so everything was on our side today. I’d like to thank all my team for this day”, – said Gleb Syritsa.

Astana Qazaqstan Team worked hard all day long, chasing the daily breakaway and protecting Gleb Syritsa as team sprinter for the stage final. The day was impacted a lot by the heavy rain, but despite the bad weather and many attacks, the stage ended with a massive sprint, where Gleb Syritsa was the strongest rider in the peloton.

Gleb Syritsa joined Astana Qazaqstan Team from August 1st as a trainee. In his first race for the Kazakh team, Arctic Race of Norway, 22-year-old rider took a nice second place in Stage 1, while later he brought another podium, taking a second place in Stage 1 of the Tour de Slovaquie. In his third stage race for Astana Qazaqstan Team Gleb Syritsa reached his first professional win, taking the opening stage of Le Tour de Langkawi.

Tour de Langkawi back with a bang – Preview

The eight-day Malaysian race is back with a late-season slot and a line-up heavy on WorldTour teams

The Petronas Tour de Langkawi returns from October 11 to 18, helping herald the restart of international racing in the region after more than two years where events across the east of Asia have been constrained by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The 1097km Malaysian tour, which takes riders through a wall of heat and humidity as they traverse lush forested terrain inland and ride alongside the sparkling blue waters of the coast, began in 1996 but last ran in 2020. 

Its regular early-season time slot meant it managed to go ahead before the pandemic brought things to a halt in 2020, but it was a place on the calendar that had initially looked to be working against it this year. 

The 2022 edition was rescheduled twice – once from March through COVID-19 related issues and then from June due to calendar clashes. The continued pursuit of options other than cancellation, however, means that as well as being one of the last events in the region to run before the pandemic, it will be one of the first to return. 

China’s WorldTour ranked Tour of Guangxi, which was due to finish off the top-tier season, was cancelled again this year. However, the 1.Pro-ranked Japan Cup on October 16, plus the Tour de France Criterium events in Singapore and Japan, mean there will be plenty of international riders making the journey over to the region in October and November.

Whether it’s the time slot, an enthusiasm to return to the region after a period of absence, or the intensity of the relegation battle, it's a bumper crop of top-tier teams on the start list for the Tour de Langkawi this year. UAE Team Emirates, Cofidis, Lotto Soudal, EF Education-EasyPost and Movistar will be lining up at the race for the first time, while Astana-Qazaqstan are returning.  

Alpecin-Deceuninck, soon to be a WorldTour outfit, Uno-X Pro Cycling, Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli, and Burgos-BH have also made the journey to Malaysia to line up alongside national and continental teams largely from the Asia/Pacific region.

That means the promise is high for exciting racing and a Tour de Langkawi that could stand out in history for far more than the unusual October time-slot. 

The contenders

Looking with an eye to the points on offer in a tight relegation battle could potentially have added some extra incentive to travel out to Malaysia for some teams like Movistar and Lotto Soudal when they entered. Now, however, things look settled, with Lotto and Israel-Premier Tech all-but confirmed as the two teams to lose WorldTour status in 2023, while Alpecin-Deceuninck and Arkéa-Samsic are promoted. 

At Langkawi, there are 200 points on offer for the overall winner and 20 per stage win, which will not be enough to change anyone’s fortunes. Movistar are safe after Enric Mas' exploits at the Vuelta a España and Il Lombardia, while Lotto Soudal have a seemingly insurmountable gap of more than a thousand points to their nearest rivals.

That means playing it safe for points isn’t going to be the game for any of those among the field. Instead, it will be an all-out battle for stage, category and overall glory.

UAE Team Emirates are fielding former winner Ryan Gibbons but it seems far more likely that it will be George Bennett who is leading the charge for the team. The rider from New Zealand has had some strong results in the tours in the second half of the season after coming back from a COVID-19-shortened Tour de France. 

He took second at the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon and his seventh overall at the Tour de l’Ain could have potentially been more if an ice sock induced mechanical hadn’t held him back. Perhaps he will be looking for some alternate cooling methods in the heat of Malaysia as he takes on the Tour de Langkawi for the first time.

Movistar have Oscar Rodriguez among their trio of climbers, with the 2018 Vuelta a España stage winner joined by Augusto Rubio Reyes and Vuelta a Asturias winner Iván Sosa . 

Mark Padun and Esteban Chaves are among the EF Education-EasyPost line-up. The tour is familiar territory for Chaves, having placed fourth at the 2014 edition, with fourth on the Genting Highlands finish. It was then a welcome step in his early return from a terrible 2013 crash that left him with brain trauma and a long list of injuries. Asked if he may be looking to make a step up to the podium this year, his answer was: "I’ll do my best and we will see."

Cofidis have the experienced Spanish rider Ion Izagarre as one to watch on the climbing stages, while former Movistar rider Eduardo Sepúlveda – who won a stage of the Tour of Turkey this year and took third overall – is lining up for Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli.

It may be called the Tour of Langkawi but while the island off northwestern Malaysia may be the eponymous endpoint, this is one of those occasions where it is as much about the journey as the destination. 

After flying into Kuala Lumpur, the riders will spend the first three stages within reach of the nation’s capital before the stages stretch out towards the north and then transfer over to Langkawi, known as the Jewel of Kedah, for the last two stages. 

The initial stages aren’t without their challenges, with the 157.3 km opening day from Kuala Pilah including 5 categorised climbs – all category 2 and 3 – before the race charges down from Look Out Point for an expected sprint in front of the Petronas Twin Tower in the centre of Kuala Lumpur. 

Two category 3 climbs await on the flatter stage 2 but it is the longest stage of the race at 178.9km. 

Then there is stage 3, which is set to be a make or break point for overall challengers. The 131.9km stage from Putrajaya to the Genting Highlands has a history of proving pivotal. Riders will face two category 2 climbs, one of them the familiar Look Out Point from near the end of stage 1, as they skirt past Kuala Lumpur and toward the final battle of the day. 

Riders will face the dual challenge of the HC climbs of Gohtong Jaya and Genting Highlands in quick succession with the Gohtong Jaya KOM just 20km before the finish line. It is only a short downhill before the road starts to rise again toward the Genting Highlands finale, with the last 8km of racing delivering an average gradient of 10% and sections of 15%.

Then it is onto Sabak Bernam for a flat 137.9km stage to provide some relief and excitement for the sprinters. The race is likely to also deliver more opportunity for a bunch sprint over the next two stages – stage 5 from Kuala Kangsar to Kulim and stage 6 from Georgetown to Alor Setar – as the race heads north and ever closer to its Langkawi finale. The first stage on Langkawi from Kuah to Gunung Raya may be the shortest of the race at 90.8km but it is not without its challenges and is the most likely stage, after the Genting Highlands, to sway the GC. That is thanks to the route that spirals in toward a steep finishing climb, Gunung Raya, which takes riders from 34m to 864m above sea level over 13km, with the last 300 metres delivering a final sting with a gradient of 15%. The final stage on Tuesday October 18 loops its way around the island on the Kuah Langkawi loop to deliver 115.9km and a finale for the sprinters. Once the riders have crossed the line in Pekan Kuah the jerseys - yellow for overall leader, red for king of the mountains, green for sprint king, and white for best Asian rider - will find their final home.

A distant location will see the Movistar Team take the curtains down to its 43rd season . Southeast Asia will see the Pablo Lastras-managed group compete for the very last time in 2022 at the 25th Le Tour de Langkawi, over eight warm, humid stages that offer chances to both sprinters and climbers.

The two days which should decide the GC result are the  traditional, Hors Categorie mountain-top finish of Genting Highlands (Thursday 13th), a climb in two steps -the first towards the KOM of Gohtong Jaya (also HC)-, 1,100m elevation gain and nearly twenty kilometers to the summit; and  Gunung Raya (Monday 17th) , located in the Langkawi island on the penultimate day, over 9km at 6.6%.

Around those, the fastest men in the bunch will find up to six opportunities , with hillier roads on stages one and two and flatter courses for the remainder of the race. Controlling the field won’t be an easy task, though, with only six riders per team in this race.
