Four wins out of five bunch sprints: Andrea Guardini underlined his superiority with yet another victory in the Tour de Langkawi today. The 21 year old Italian neo-pro has had a stunning debut in this race and is becoming more and more confident, starting his sprint over 250 metres from the line in Tampin and holding off all his rivals.

Showing that he can still compete strongly at 43 years of age, Libardo Nino Corredor (Le Tua) took over the general classification lead at the Tour de Langkawi today. The veteran Colombian rider placed second on the gruelling stage to Genting Highlands, battling wind and rain to finish just behind the victorious Venezuelan rider Jonnatha Monsalve (Androni Giocattoli).

Every rider who is prepared to put in long hours of training will eventually have his moment of glory on the winner's podium. Bradley Potgieter (MTN-Energade), who won the Carousel Classic on Monday (9 August), can vouch for that.
