Stage 7 - February 6: Kuantan - Bentong, 196 km
Brown stays in green after 2nd win; O'Neill relinquishes yellow
By Anthony Tan in Bentong
 |
Self confessed fastest sprinter at the LTdL, Graeme Brown from Panaria-Fiordo, won his second sprint in three days after he and his orange-bellied teammates timed their final effort to perfection once again.
Brown, suffering with incessant stomach problems before and during the race, was surprised just to have finished after hopping off the bike for a nature call at the 100 kilometre mark: "I saw the race doctor about 15 times today - I’ve never stopped to get off my bike before, but at 100 kilometres to go, the pain in my stomach was so bad I had to get off and have a nature call."
"The stop in the bushes relieved it a bit and when it came down to the final kilometres, I wasn’t thinking of anything but getting a perfect lead out and riding a perfect sprint to win," he said.
The hard luck story of the day most certainly rests with overnight leader, Nathan O'Neill (Saturn), who fell into a ditch with less than two kilometres to go after riders ahead of him clipped wheels on the frantic run-in to Bentong.

"I had thought I was safe because there was a ten metre gap to the next guy in front of me but guys swerved across and dropped themselves in front of me," explained O'Neill. "I went for the grass to land on but it was full of volcanic rocks and that’s what slashed my arm up."
"Tomorrow I’m going to unleash the fury and make sure when I do Tom’s [Danielson] on my wheel," vowed O'Neill, clearly miffed about the "amateurs stupidly sprinting for 50th place" at the finish of each stage.
"I’ve hardly turned a pedal in anger but that’s going to change now because we know Tom’s going to shock a few on Genting," he said.
In the longest stage of the 8th Le Tour de Langkawi at 196 kilometres, the scene was set once again for a long breakaway with overcast weather in the start town of Kuantan and an undulating parcours.
Just over an hour of racing had passed before Scott Guyton (Flanders-Iteamnova) initiated the first break of the day, Lars Ytting Bak (Team fakta) joining Guyton shortly afterwards.
15 kilometres later, two more riders came across - Erwin Thijs (Palmans-Collstrop) and Johan Dekkers (Marlux-Ville De Charlerois), making the escape a very strong looking quartet on paper.
After close to 130 kilometres in team time trial formation, their lead was still around four minutes, however the overzealous cat-and-mouse tactics initiated by Thijs led to their downfall.
Along the finishing straight in downtown Bentong, spectators were treated to the sixth bunch sprint in as many days, and this time, Brownie and his Panaria-Fiordo leadout men made no mistake, Brownie a comfortable winner over yesterday's hero Stuart O'Grady (Credit Agricole) and Allan Bo Andresen (Team fakta).
"He (Brown) was a little bit smarter after yesterday and he hit out very late," said O'Grady about his reversal of fortune after his win yesterday.
As a result of Nathan O'Neill's fall, the Australian lost a costly 48 seconds and in doing so, relinquished his golden fleece to teammate Tom Danielson, who was 24 seconds behind O'Niell at the start of today's stage.
How it unfolded
 |
Even by Malaysian standards, the humidity of the days past was extreme, so it wasn't surprising that all in the village of Kuantan were greeted with a heavy morning shower to begin the day.
As the Saturn team gingerly made their way out of their hotel, Tim Johnson was clutching his thermos of freshly percolated coffee - a must for any pro bike rider, looking particularly unmotivated for another day of hard tempo riding.
On paper, the parcours didn't appear that challenging: just one Cat. 4 climb in 196 kilometres, coupled with three intermediate sprints at 104.7km, 121.7km and 175km. However, after a moderate start, the undulating, twisty terrain was enough of an incentive for Scott Guyton (Flanders-Iteamnova) to try his luck after 55 kilometres.
 |
10 kilometres later, Lars Ytting Bak (Team fakta) comfortably bridged the gap to Guyton. The coolish conditions appeared to mirror the mood of the peloton as another break of two riders - Erwin Thijs (Palmans-Collstrop) and Johan Dekkers (Marlux-Ville De Charlerois) - went clear shortly afterwards without resistance.
The two groups in front soon became one; as they forged their way west to the town of Jengka (104.7 kilometres covered) their lead was 1:43, and by the second sprint at Temerloh (121.7km / 74.3km to go), the gap widened to 2:44.
For nearly 130 kilometres, the quartet worked like a championship-winning team time trial squad and at the final intermediate sprint of the day (175km), their lead was still close to four minutes strong, with Johan Dekkers (Marlux-Ville De Charlerois) the virtual leader on the road.
Though today, the Panaria squad appeared even better drilled: for the last 30 kilometres, the orange train drove a relentless pace, bringing it back for Graeme Brown, Saturn and Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave' also prominent at the head of affairs.
 |
Erwin Thijs' (Palmans-Collstrop) cat-and-mouse tactics brought about the quartet's demise much faster than expected, and with three kilometres remaining, the spectators in Bentong were about to witness the sixth another bunch gallop in as many days.
As the diamond shaped peloton came into the streets of Bentong, henchmen Sergiy Matveyev and Brett Lancaster provided the perfect lead out for their man Brownie, who convincingly won a clean sprint in front of yesterday's successor Stuart O'Grady (Credit Agricole) and Allan Bo Andresen (Team fakta).
"I could take the yellow tomorrow if I can pick up the stage win and a bonus sprint along the way," said Brown, who in the space of a few minutes, seemed to forget all about his stomach troubles with the possibility of adding another jersey to his growing collection.
"It would be great to finish the tour wearing green and winning the last stage," he said.
