PASIR PUTEH: XDS Astana rider Matteo Malucelli stayed true to his word that he would not settle for just one stage victory in this year’s Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) after storming to another win in Stage Three from Gerik to Pasir Puteh on Tuesday (Sept 30).

It was far from an easy triumph for the Italian, who had to rely on a photo finish after a tightly contested bunch sprint to the line.
