PETALING JAYA: Dimension Data continued their hot streak with Eritrea’s Mekseb Debesay finishing first on the 174.4km Stage Four mountain climb from Seri Manjung to Cameron Highlands, beating Australian Cameron Bayly by the length of a bike. Both clocked 4’37:49.

There was more joy for the South African outfit with Australian Ryan Gibbons coming in third on the line only four seconds later to retain the yellow jersey and set them up with a good chance to become the first team to win three Le Tour de Langkawi titles in a row.
