28th PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2024 🇲🇾 (2.Pro) – Stage 2 – Arau – Butterworth : 154,5 km
The Tour de Langkawi is a multiple stage bicycle race held in Malaysia. It is named after the archipelago Langkawi, where the first edition started and finished. The 2024 Tour de Langkawi (officially Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi 2024 for sponsorship reasons) was the 28th edition of the Tour de Langkawi road cycling stage race, which is the part of the 2024 UCI ProSeries. It will begin on 29th of September in Kuah and will finish on 6th of October in Bintulu.
Matteo Malucelli (JCL Team Ukyo) took one his biggest career wins at the Tour of Le Tour de Langkawi on Monday in a uniquely humble manner, as he sprinted below the raised arms of Manuel Peñalver of Polti-Kometa – who thought he had clinched victory.
“I am very happy with my first victory in a 2 Pro race,” Malucelli said after the race finish. “This will certainly motivate me to continue pursuing wins in this professional tour. This victory is important not just for me but also for our team. We have been working hard for several weeks to prepare for this LTdL.”
Peñalver was in good spirits with his second-place finish, despite his misplaced stage-win celebrations. “The truth is that I thought I had won when I crossed the finish line,” he said. “Sometimes you can be wrong and in this case, the photo finish gave me second place. Congratulations to him.”
Gleb Syritsa remains in the lead by a slender margin of 2 seconds after winning stage 1.
