Pushing all the way: Peloton in action during Stage 5 in Kuala Kangsar.

TAIPING: Italian cyclist Matteo Pelucchi won a bunch sprint to end Androni Giocattoli’s winless streak of four editions in Stage Five of the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi covering 200.1km from Tanjung Malim to Taiping.

Androni are the most successful general classification team in the race’s history with seven overall victories but have gone through a barren spell since Dutch sprinter Kenny van Hummel won a stage in the 2014 edition.
