Le tour De Langkawi Or Tour De Politic



Assalamualaikum!
Admin hari ni nak kupas pasal Le Tour De Langkawi. yang mana dulu admin mang minat gila sampai admin sanggup naik bas dari kedah ke kl semata mata nak tengok live kat dataran merdeka (Jaman Skola La)

Dulu Tour de Langkawi sangat berwarna - warni bila Langkawi antara destinasi pilihan perjalanan perlumbaan, Dr M berusaha mempromosikan Langkawi dengan cara sukan untuk semua, Tapi kini langkawi tidak lagi dalam jadual perlumbaan, dah banyak tahun dah admin tengok. Bila ramai - ramai kacau, pihak pengurusan masukkan balik Langkawi dalam senarai perlumbaan, perlumbaan atau just starting point?

Kita sedia maklum yang langkawi adalah salah satu tempat peranginan yang diiktiraf dunia, Bukan sebab admin anak jati kedah so admin sokong langkawi. tidak sama sekali. Tanya diri kita sendiri, kebanyakan pelancong luar negara banyak berkunjung ke langkawi or tempat lain.

Mungkinkah ada unsur  unsur lain yang mengakibatkan langkawi semakin tersisih, sedangkan nama Tour ialah Tour De Langkawi..

Oleh itu sama-sama kita fikirkan..
Assalamualaikum wbth.

Le Tour De Langkawi


The Tour de Langkawi is an annual cycling race which is held in Malaysia since 1996. The name of the event comes from the starting point of the first few editions, in Langkawi,Kedah, although some later editions did not include Langkawi in the race at all. The race is part of the UCI Asia Tour.
Four jerseys are contested during the race, although in history the jersey colours changed all the time to suit the sponsor, they are general classification, points classification; King of the Mountains and Asian riders classification. In addition, there are two team titles to honour teams classification and also Asian teams classification.
The tour is the biggest cycling event in Asia, and it is the only one in Asia to have granted two hors-category (2.HC)

The race was formed based by the idea of former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad, along with the Late Wan Adli Wan Ibrahim and Izmee Che Ismail of First Cartel, the race was successfully held for the first time in 1996. For the first few years, the tour always started from Langkawi, however it is not lately. The tour also visited in Sabah and Sarawak in 1997, however poor cargo service, led to a long delays by several teams to getting the stuff and riders, force organisers to cancel second stage of the tour.Since then, the race never visited there again.
Several incidents spiced up the race in history, stages of the race were cancelled twice due to heavy downpour in the final stage back in 2003 and 2006.During the first stage in 2004, police officials mistakenly opening the way for public vehicles onto the race track while the race was still ongoing to decide the winner of the first stage. After negotiations between the riders, they decided to neutralise the stage.
Throughout the history, only Paolo Lanfranchi able to emerge twice as overall winner. That was two stages that never missing from the calendar since 1998. Genting Highlands is the toughest climb in the tour, except in 2008, it was replaced by Fraser's Hill due to security reasons and set to comeback again in 2009. The tour ended with twelve laps criterium race in Dataran Merdeka.

CYCLING / LE TOUR DE LANGKAWI: Malaysian challenge fizzles out



IF there was going to be a Malaysian challenge in the general classification of Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL), it all but vanished in Stage Three yesterday, with Adiq Husainie Othman salvaging some pride in his 33rd place finish as the best ranked local.

But Adiq admitted it was never his target to beat his compatriots, focusing mainly on team duties for his leaders in the Champion System team, which saw Americans Chad Beyer and Chris Butler limit the damage caused by runaway leader Wang Meiyin of the Hengxiang Cycling Team yesterday.
"I have no targets for myself. I'm here to work for the team's targets and my job today was to help Beyer and Butler up the climbs, then try to finish as high as I could as they are our general classification riders," said Adiq, 22.
"So, I'm not too worried about whether I finish ahead of the other Malaysians. We're also targeting the teams classification, so I will work towards that as well."
