Karpin Galicia announces provisional Langkawi team

The Tour de Langkawi is still over six weeks away, but Spanish Professional Continental squad Karpin Galicia has announced its provisional nine rider selection for the Malaysian stage race, from which six will be ultimately selected. Langkawi organisers have recently hinted that the second stage to Genting Highlands may be moved further into the race, following complaints from teams and sponsors.

The following riders have been chosen by directeur sportif Álvaro Pino: David Garcia, Gustavo Dominguez, Vladimir Isaychev, Gustavo C. Veloso, Ramon Troncoso, Jesus Cobelo, Alejandro Paleo, Juan Mourón and Alberto Fernandez. The squad is expected to leave for Malaysia on February 4 with the race running from February 9-17.
