Tour de Langkawi- Cat. 2.4Malaysia, January 26 - February 6, 2000Stage 9 - February 3: Malacca - Kajang, 115.2 kmVogels closeCourtesy of John Wordin The first of two comparatively short stages in the Tour de Langkawi was held today, being 115 km from Malacca to Kajang. It came as a welcome relief to riders who had endured nearly six hours of racing the day before. Prior to the race, the was a minute silence for Wim Jeremiasse who had died in an car accident the day before. He was an international commissaire and was head commissaire of the Tour de Langkawi last year, and had drowned in a lake in Austria whilst in his car. The race started fairly aggressively, and after just 10 km, the decsive break occurred, containing 15 riders all from different teams, and none a threat to the overall lead of Mercury's Chris Horner. They quickly built a lead, maintaining it at 5 minutes throughout the race. There were no threats to the other points or mountains competitions in the break, so it was just down to who could win the stage. With 10 km to go, a break of six formed containing Henk Vogels (Aus, Mercury), Torsten Schmidt (Ger, Gerol), Artour Babaitsev (Rus, Nürnberg), Thierry Gouvenou (Fra, Big Mat), Guido Trenti (US, Cantina Tollo), and Mike Barry (Can, Saturn). It came down to a sprint between Gouvenou, Vogels and Trenti, with the latter just flicking Vogels for the win. For Mercury's part, it was their third second place of the tour, as well as having one stage win. In addition, they hold the overall lead in the individual, teams, and points competitions. Tomorrow's stage 10 will decide the race with the 25km climb to Genting Highlands. With 20 riders within 2 minutes, the race is far from over. 1 Guido Trenti (USA) Cantina Tollo - Alexia Al 2.42.57 (42.53 km/h) 2 Henk Vogels (Aus) Mercury Cycling Team 3 Torsten Schmidt (Ger) Team Gerolsteiner 4 Artour Babaitsev (Rus) Team Nürnberger 5 Michael Barry (Can) Saturn Cycling Team 6 Thierry Gouvenou (Fra) Bigmat Auber 93 7 Jans Koerts (Ned) Farm Frites 0.19 8 Franky Van Haesebroucke (Bel) Telekom Malaysia All-Star 9 Simon Kessler (Rsa) Rep South Africa 10 Dennis Rasmussen (Den) Denmark 11 Matthias Buxhofer (Aut) Phonak 12 Kosie Loubser (Rsa) Rep South Africa 13 Ciarán Power (Irl) Linda McCartney 1.55 14 Dirk Aernouts (Bel) Collstrop 2.29 15 Nathan O'Neill (Aus) Panaria Gaerne 16 Martin Kryger (Den) Denmark 5.27 17 Daniel Spence (Rsa) Rep South Africa 18 Alexandre Usov (Swi) Phonak 19 Setyobudi Wawan (Ina) Indonesia 20 Fuyu Li (Chn) China 21 Damien Nazon (Fra) Team Bonjour 22 Razali Sharulneeza (Mas) Malaysia 23 David McKenzie (Aus) Linda McCartney 24 Hoong Tsen,Seong (Mas) Malaysia 25 Setiawan Herry Janto (Ina) Indonesia 26 Keton Mohd Suhaimi (Mas) Malaysia 27 Glen Mitchell (NZl) Telekom Malaysia All-Star 28 Suyitno Suyitno (Ina) Indonesia 29 Setiawan Hengky (Ina) Indonesia 30 Antonio Cruz (USA) Saturn Cycling Team 31 Rosli Nor Effandy (Mas) Telekom Malaysia All-Star 32 Sulistiono Sulistiono (Ina) Indonesia 33 Arnel Quirimit (Phi) Philippines 34 Jürgen Werner (Ger) Team Nürnberger 35 Enrique Domingo (Phi) Philippines 36 Musa Musairi (Mas) Malaysia 37 Trent Klasna (USA) Saturn Cycling Team 38 Graeme Miller (NZl) Telekom Malaysia All-Star 39 Mark Walters (Can) Canada 40 Guozhang Wong (Chn) China 41 Floyd Landis (USA) Mercury Cycling Team 42 Merculio Ramos (Phi) Philippines 43 Gordon Fraser (Can) Mercury Cycling Team 44 Stig Dam (Den) Denmark 45 Yongbiao Zhu (Chn) China 46 Mark McCormack (USA) Saturn Cycling Team 47 Warren Davadilla (Phi) Philippines 48 Thiam Wong,Ah (Mas) Malaysia 49 Chris Wherry (USA) Saturn Cycling Team 50 Christopher Horner (USA) Mercury Cycling Team 51 Walter Beneteau (Fra) Team Bonjour 52 René Stadelmann (Swi) Phonak 53 Fortunato Baliani (Ita) Aguardiente Nectar 54 Wong Kam-Po (Chn) Telekom Malaysia All-Star 55 Volker Ordowski (Ger) Team Gerolsteiner 56 René Haselbacher (Aut) Team Gerolsteiner 57 Matt Stephens (GBr) Linda McCartney 58 Emanuele Negrini (Ita) Cantina Tollo -
