2012 Tour de Langkawi Preview
The 17th Tour de Langkawi takes place for a second year its new calendar position, later in February and again welcomes a rich selection of Asian and European racing talent.
Though there will be only one major climbing stage, the day to Genting Highlands, the Tour's length at 10 stages, along with the tropical heat, makes this race always a difficult and highly competitive race.
