KUALA LUMPUR – The 27th edition of the PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 ended with a bang with Gleb Syritsa of Astana Qazaqstan Cycling taking the final stage and Simon Carr of EF Education-EasyPost confirming his status as the best overall rider, here on Sunday.
Two-stage winner, Arvid de Kleijn, who was unwell with a blocked nose over the past few days, did well to come in third to end his campaign with creditable results for Tudor Pro Cycling Team. Syritsa, who was part of a 14-men breakaway group earlier in the race was simply overjoyed over his achievement in Tour de Langkawi: “It’s been a good Tour de Langkawi for me, a win last year and twice this year…I’m super happy.”
Carr, elated over his first overall victory as a pro rider, heaped praises on his teammates, whom he said rode hard from the start to the end of the race. EF Education-Easy Post came to the race with clear intentions of winning the general classification by bringing a team full of reputable climbers.
Tudor’s Simon Pellaud confirmed his status as the 2023 King of Mountains, taking the TOURISM MALAYSIA Red Polka Dot Jersey with an overall 32 points, 12 points ahead of overall winner Simon Carr. “Overall, we did well here in Malaysia, with many podiums, and brought back home two jerseys…so it’s great, we’re happy with the outcome,” said de Kleijn.
