Panaria rocks in Kuala Terengganu

... and one away from the Dom Perignon

Ceramica Panaria-Navigare's Graeme Brown has well and truly found his old form once again. Today in Kuala Terengganu, he and his team showcased their dominance with an awesome display of flat-line sprinting, as Brownie, Ruben Bongiorno and Brett Lancaster delivered a Panaria 1-2-3.

It was Brown's second stage win of the race - already two more than his 2004 total - and the 25 year-old Sydneysider can smell more where that came from... as well as a bottle of the finest bubbly money can buy.

"I'm definitely full of confidence and believe that either myself or [Ruben] Bongiorno, we've definitely got a couple more stage wins in us," said Brown to Cyclingnews.

"I think there's two or three more reasonably flat stages, and one stage that could be a sprint, so there's still good opportunities for us to get stage wins... and we need one more for a Dom Perignon - that's from the director!" he added with a cheeky grin.

With Panaria and race leader Koji Fukushima's Bridgestone Anchor team collaborating to keep the early break under control, the friendly-faced though slightly eccentric Japanese rider, who leads all individual classifications bar the points, was delighted to keep his golden jacket for another day, and is now feeling stronger and more confident as the race goes on.

"I feel very grateful that I can keep the jersey today; it is a great pleasure for me, and I have to give great thanks to my team-mates," said the 31 year-old race leader. "I wish I can keep the jersey tomorrow, too; it will be hard, but I feel I am getting better and I can recover enough, so I hope I can keep this jersey."

As expected, all other classifications remain unchanged, but the big mover of the day in the points competition was naturally Graeme Brown, who is now 19 points clear of Stefen Van Dijck (Mr Bookmaker.Com-SportsTech) and Oleg Grishkine (Navigators Insurance).

Brown, who can seemingly do no wrong, believes his turnaround in form is a result of six days of hard racing he went through at the Jacob's Creek Tour Down Under. But he was just as eager to praise his team; in particular, Mirko Allegrini, Fortunato Baliani and Sergiy Matveyev, who swapped turns for much of the day to keep the early breakaway in check.

"We've bonded perfectly together from day one, and we've spent a lot of time on the front, so I guess hard work pays off in the end," said Brown. "The boys have been on the front doing great work and doing a great job, so this is our way of rewarding these guys for their hard work."

How it unfolded

The peloton

After the short time trial yesterday in Bachok and Fukushima's successful escape the day before, plenty of riders were keen to test their legs right from the get-go. Action rider Zbigniew Piatek was the only rider not to start, leaving a total of 132 riders heading off for the 163.9 kilometre journey to Kuala Terengganu.

These aforementioned factors, combined with comparably milder weather in Kota Bharu, made for a particularly active start, and after a series of unsuccessful breaks, a three-man group was finally let go at the 25 kilometre mark, Alessandro D'Andrea (Acqua & Sapone), Kazimierz Stafiej (Action) and Nico Sijmens (Landbouwrediet-Colnago) in the move.

The three worked well together, but were never really out of the peloton's reach. With the Bridgestone Anchor team of yellow jersey Koji Fukishima and Ceramica Panaria-Navigare keen to keep the break in check, the trio gained a maximum advantage of 4'45 at km 76 before being reeled in with a century of kilometres completed.

Naturally, when the regrouping occured, a counter-attack followed, and it was Irishman Paidi O'Brien who decided to go solo with just over 50 clicks to go. However, the luck of the Irish wasn't quite with him, and O'Brien was caught 20 kilometres later at km 126. So with the peloton groupé once again, the finish was destined for another bunch gallop.

In the last-minute madness, a crash at the rear of the field took out a few dozen riders, mostly likely caused by a touch of wheels. But with six to go, the sprinters were already at the head of the arrow that was now travelling at speeds touching 60 kilometres an hour.

It was all Ceramica Panaria-Navigare coming into the final straight in Kuala Terengganu, and in another textbook display of flat-line sprinting, lieutenant Brett Lancaster gave Colonel Graeme Brown the perfect lead-out 600 metres from the line, Brownie giving a one-armed salute as he crossed the line for his second stage win in the race.

Said Brown post-race: "Lancaster did an unbelievable job; he hit out with 600 metres to go, and at 200 metres where I normally would go, I looked around and nobody was coming - it was all single file. I left it a little bit longer, and we ran 1-2-3."

Stage 6 - February 2: Kuala Berang - Cukai in Terengganu

Kuala Berang makes its debut as a host venue and will be the starting point for yet another stage on flat terrain as the Tour de Langkawi continues its way south along the east coast, passing towns including Ajil, Simpang Bukit Besi and Dungun.

There are three sprints at Kampong Dendeng, Dungun Town and Kampung Kerteh, and only one Cat. 4 climb at Kijal, so Stage 6 is likely to once again favour the fast-men - unless a breakaway specialist of the likes of Koji Fukushima has something to do with it. But don't expect it to be Koji; he's got the race lead to defend!
