Tour de Langkawi- Cat. 2.4Malaysia, January 26 - February 6, 2000Stage 2 - January 27: Alor Star - Baru Ferringhi, 174.3 kmDrew in a sprintAustralian Jamie Drew, riding for the Aguardiente-Nectar team, won the first proper road stage of the Tour de Langkawi in a narrow sprint from Liquigas rider, Daniele Contrini. The 174 km stage was conducted between Alor Star and Baru Ferringhi, and contained two climbs at 143 km and 162 km. An early break was made by Arnel Quirimit and Ramos Merculio of the Phillipines, who opened up a sizable gap. However, the bunch started to chase and the two were reeled in before the major climbs. The climbs saw some splitting of the peloton, with just under 60 of the 149 riders making it to the finish within a minute of the winner. Towards the end, a group of eight escaped, containing Drew, Stephens (GBr, LMc), Contrini (Ita, Liq), Leaper (Aus, Nav) and race leader, Frank McCormack (US, Saturn). Six riders made it to the finish as a group and the sprint was won by Jamie Drew, with Contrini taking second. However, Contrini had the consolation of taking over the yellow jersey from McCormack by virtue of a time bonus. Tomorrow is a Muslim prayer day, and the riders face a short, flat 86 km stage from Taiping to Sitiawan.
