Endelig vandt Guardini i årets Tour de Langkawi

I de seneste års udgaver af Tour de Langkawi har Andrea Guardini været den helt store profil med i alt 11 etapesejre fordelt på to år. I år er italieneren også til start i løbet, men han har til egen skuffelse måtte indse flere gange under årets løb, at en anden var hurtigere end ham. Sådan var det dog ikke i dag, hvor Guardini endelig fik sin etapesejr.

Løbets syvende etape kørtes fra Kuantan til Dungun over 150 kilometer og var en etape, der var oplagt til sprinterne, der igen måtte ventes i fokus efter et par etaper, hvor sprinterne var sat ud af spillet. Ikke overraskende prøvede et par lykkeriddere dog at snyde feltet og dets sprintere, men modsat i går, hvor et udbrud holdt hjem, gik den ikke i dag.

Franskmanden fra Team Europcar, Cyril Gautier, og Travis Meyer fra Orica-GreenEDGE var sammen i udbrud. Duoen fik et stort forspring til feltet, over syv minutter, men interessen for en massespurt var for stor, da hold som Omega Pharma – Quick Step, Vini Fantini – Selle Italia og Astana blev enige om at arbejde sammen i feltet.

Udbryderne blev hentet, og det skulle således afgøres i en massespurt, hvor Guardini trak sig ud som vinderen, da han i en meget tæt spurt slog Francesco Chicchi (Farnese Vini – Selle Italia) med Aidis Kruopis (Orica-GreenEDGE) på tredjepladsen. Guardini har rekorden i Tour de Langkawi for antal etapesejre med 12 af slagsen.

Julian Arredondo (Team Nippo – De Rosa) kom let gennem etapen og fører stadig samlet, mens danske John Ebsen (Synergy – Baku Cycling Project) fortsat er på ottendepladsen.
