PETALING JAYA: Benjamin Dyball became the first Australian to take home the overall title at the Le Tour de Langkawi since its inauguration in 1996 when Damian McDonald won it.

On the final day, despite finishing 24th on the 103.8km Stage 8 route from Dataran Lang to Kuah, it was enough to see him keep the coveted yellow jersey which he grabbed hold of since he emerged victorious during the climb from Shah Alam to Genting Highlands in Stage 4.
