BENTONG: It was better late than never for Tudor Pro Cycling Team’s Arvid De Kleijn as the Dutch rider finally got his first stage win at this year’s Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL).

Having won two stages during last year’s edition, De Kleijn said yesterday’s win at Stage 4 from Kuala Kubu Baru to Bentong was a relief for himself and the team, who struggled to find their footing in the previous three stages.
