Tour de Langkawi- Cat. 2.4Malaysia, January 26 - February 6, 2000Stage 4 - January 29: Lumut - Tanah Rata, 162.5 kmLongest climb sees new leaderCourtesy of John Wordin Stage 4 of the Tour of Langkawi featured the world's longest climb. It was sure to create havoc in the group and make the overall GC sort itself out. As the stage started, Gord Fraser (Mercury) had a small lead in the green jersey competition, and he was looking to build his lead in the 3 sprints before the climb started. Fraser won the first sprint and was 2nd in the next sprint to lock the jersey for the day. There was a small break as the climb started and the Mobilvetta team set the pace to protect the KOM Jersey. That pace was hard enough to lose the previous day's yellow jersey (Daniel Contrini, Liquigas) and now the race was on. On the last climb a group of 3 riders went away and in that group was 4th overall, Mark Walters from Canada. That was a threat to the yellow jersey but not for the race overall. Farm Frites rider and race favorite, Ivanov waited until 4k to go before he launched the attack, but it was too late to catch Walters. However, at the finish, it was the climbing star from Hong Kong, Kam-Po Wong (Mas- All Star) who won, with Walters in second place some 8 seconds behind. Julio Alberto Perez (Mex, Pan-Gaerne) was the best of the chasing group, some 26 seconds behind. Wong's victory was, significantly the first time that an Asian rider has won a stage in the Tour de Langkawi, and the quietly spoken man from Hong Kong was proud of his achievement against such a quality field: "Really the win has a special winning for me as I feel that an Asian need to win a race which is being organised by Asians." The hardest climb of the race is yet to come however, taking place in Stage 10 from Kuala Lumpur - Genting. Kam-Po definitely has another chance to add to his win today, and is a fairly handy sprinter when it comes to it.
