Stage 8 - November 12: Malacca criterium 52.2km

Report

26-year-old Rafael Chyla clinched overall victory in the Jelajah Malaysia despite finishing 43 seconds behind the leaders in the final criterium stage on Sunday. Chyla's position deep in the pack was not, however, enough to help his VI Peddler team in the teams competition and they were pipped to the prize by Indonesia, with Kuala Lumpur's Musairi Musa taking the stage.

Meanwhile, Malaysia's National Cycling Federation has mandated urine tests for all racers representing Malaysia in international competition from January 1 2001. The measure is aimed at"prevention rather than cure" according to Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) president Abu Samah Wahab.
