Stage 6 - February 11: Muar - Johor Bahru, 175.2 km

Quaranta comes through with the goods

At 175.2 kilometres with no hill in sight, the longest stage of this year's race was destined for the sprinters, and as the 107-strong peloton screamed into Johor Bahru, it was Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave's Ivan Quaranta who roared loudest in a flat-out sprint finish to the line, comfortably accounting for second-placed Luciano Pagliarini (Lampre) and Ruben Bongiorno (Ceramiche Panaria-Margres).

For Quaranta, today's victory is his first stage win for 2004, and the 29 year-old hopes his good form will provide him with solid grounding in the lead-up to this year's Giro d'Italia: "I am happy to have won this stage, but I would have liked to have won some earlier stages to take the leader's jersey in the points competition," he said to Cyclingnews.

"The team helped me up until the last 400m until I was on the wheel of Gordon [Fraser], then he was on the front on his own and I was forced to go for the sprint, but that's how it goes. I hope my form can continue, particularly at the Giro."

While the sixth stage could only be described as a sprinters' paradise, it didn't stop a group of 14 opportunists breaking away early in the peace, causing some anxiety within the gruppo Colombia Selle-Italia - but Directorre-Sportivo Gianno Savio's troops once again held strong, tapping into the power of the golden fleece of Marlon Perez and swapping off with seemingly relentless force. However, mountains jersey Ruber Marin (Colombia Selle Italia) admitted afterwards that today was no walk in the park for the team, and whether they can continue to nullify breaks largely unassisted remains to be seen.

"We were a little bit worried because of those riders that were not so far down on the general classification, so we had to ride really hard and it turned out to be quite a difficult day for us with Huberlino Mesa crashing," Marin explained to Cyclingnews. When it got towards the end of the stage, the sprinters' teams helped again to bring it back, so hopefully we can go on defending the jersey."

Blowing their own trumpets

With a strong cross-tailwind blowing at the stage start in Muar, the mostly flat parcours belied the danger of today's 175.2 kilometre stage down to the southern tip of the Malaysian west coast in Johor Bahru.

Conflicting strategies, ranging from riders looking for the early break to teams aiming to keep their GC riders high on the overall classification, was certain to make what was on paper a rather non-eventual stage more than just mildly interesting. Cyclingnews diarist and last year's King of the Mountains, Roland Green, lying 15th overall, even described what appeared to be conflicting strategies within his own team: "The team objective today is to be active in the breakaway. We want to get in a good break and for that break to make it to the finish," said Green to Cyclingnews at the start in Muar.

"But there's so many teams with good sprinters and we haven't had a bunch finish yet, so it's going to be a lot harder to stay away. If I'm in trouble, I know I'll have some help, but it's also a matter of how fast the stage is going; I mean, if it's going really fast, there's only so much your team can do."

In what is becoming standard practice on this year's Tour de Langkawi, the longest stage of this year's race began with a flurry of attacks and countermoves, indicative of a nervous peloton. So it wasn't surprising to see a pile-up at the 20 kilometre mark with Brice Jones (Health Net presented by Maxxis) worst off, the American requiring medical treatment from the race doctor before hopping back on his bike. And in what eventuated into the main break of the day, the change in momentum provided a stepping stone for 15 riders to escape.

Over the next 20 clicks, the two-wheeled tug-o-war between the break and the main group was too much for four of the opportunists, who motioned themselves back to the peloton, creating an interesting mix of 11. In that group were: Alessandro Cortinovis (Lampre), Jurgen Van De Walle (Chocolade Jacques-Wincor), Alejandro Alberto Borrajo (Ceramiche Panaria-Margres), Mario Manzoni (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave), Jock Green (Team Barloworld), Danny Pate and Michael Sayers (Health Net presented by Maxxis), Yoshiyuki Abe (Japan), Dominique Perras (Canada) and Daryl Impey and Reinhardt Duplessis (South Africa). Out of the 11, three riders had most to gain: Jurgen Van De Walle (Chocolade Jacques-Wincor, 4'37 behind), Jock Green (Team Barloworld, at 5'43) and Reinhardt Duplessis (South Africa, at 6'31).

With the two groups out on the road not willing to give an inch, 49 kilometres were completed in the first hour's racing with the break's advantage at no more than 30 seconds. By km 79, the 11 riders managed to extract another two minutes from the peloton, reaching a maximum lead of 2'32, but Colombia Selle-Italia and Relax Bodysol were vigilant in protecting the lead of leader Marlon Perez and second overall Hector Guerra Garcia, the gap gradually coming down to a shade over a minute by km 114.

Shortly after the third intermediate sprint in Bukit Batu (km 120.4), 11 became 3 and with 50 kilometres remaining, all that was left were Alejandro Alberto Borrajo (Ceramiche Panaria-Margres), Alessandro Cortinovis (Lampre) and Dominique Perras (Canada). Doomed but not yet defeated, the trio pressed on until just five kilometres left, the sprinters' teams of Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave, Lampre, Panaria-Margres and Health Net taking over the reigns - much appreciated by the sextet from Colombia Selle Italia after Huberlino Mesa came down earlier on in the stage and Russell Van Hout was thrown off his bike by an Irish rider warming down after yesterday's time trial in Melaka.

Coming into Johor Bahru, the fastmen began jostling for position, with two Colpack riders taking a flyer at the 400 metres to go mark. Points leader Gordon Fraser was then forced to take up the slack in the knowledge he was towing the wheel of Ivan Quaranta (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave), and just before Fraser ran out of steam, Quaranta hit out hard, his muscled legs turning the 11 cog faster than the rest to give the Italian speedster his first victory of 2004.

"We started racing from the very beginning. There were three teams going for the stage win, and I put all my efforts into getting this stage victory," said Quaranta to Cyclingnews, delighted to have won against some of the finest sprinters in the world.

Gordon Fraser, fourth on the stage but a clear leader in the points classification, was pragmatic: "I was forced to make the effort to get to the Colpacks, and at that moment, that was the moment to go but I was gassed. I hesitated just a little bit, and when I hesitated, that's when Ivan, Pagliarini and Bongiorno had the momentum on me and they did a great sprint. They timed it right and I hesitated and obviously lost, but that's the way it goes," he said.

"My main lead out man, [Greg] Henderson, got a plastic bag stuck in his derailleur with about seven k to go, and I tried to reach down and pull it out, but I wasn't brave enough. For me, that really was the key today for my lack of killer sprint, I s'pose - not having my lead-out man made the difference. And that hesitation hurt me; you just can't make a mistake at this level - the other sprinters are just too good - and the minute you make a mistake, you pay for it big time. So tough day for Health Net... we had a really hard day."
