The sole time trial stage of the Tour De Langkawi may well have been a relatively short burst at just a shade over 26 kilometres, but with the overall classification running so close it looked all set to be the deciding punch in a friendly bout within the Mapei team.

Having Paolo Lanfranchi in yellow, just 1'23 ahead of teammate Paolo Bettini, barring accident or a miraculous time trial from second placed Paolo Bertoglio of Panaria, the overall classification looked set to be a Mapei double topper. However, with Lanfranchi's self-confessed weakness against the clock, the only question was which of the Italian duo would end the day, and most probably the tour, in yellow.

The circuit around Shah Alam was a real technical twister, with an octopus like configuration, and a whole load of draggy rises. The majority of the field hit the road by mid-afternoon, when the sun was at its most ferocious. But this heat also meant dry conditions, which were to prove extremely beneficial for them. However the weather turned for the last 20 or so riders, and heavy rains fell on the twisty circuit, making for a treacherous showdown to the GC.

Dry starter Nathan O'Neill, former Australian time trial champion, riding for the Italian Panaria team, surprised the uninitiated when he stormed home in a time of 29.18.2 to take the lead, and one which would ultimately earn him the stage victory ahead of Michael Rich of Groelstiener, who was the first of the wet starters.

The real attention however was all focused on the battle of the Mapeis, and as the rain fell harder Bettini hit the slippery streets with style, pounding around to a fine fourth place stage finish, catching Pascal Herve for 2 minutes along the way. As the drenched crowds waited with bated breath for the yellow jersey to arrive, Paolo Lanfranchi, the clock was counting.

For Bettini it just was not going to count fast enough. Lanfranchi had done it, the ride he needed to keep his lead, and by a commanding 54 seconds. As Bettini leap-frogged into second overall, the Mapei camp couldn't have asked for more.

Following a disastrous stage to Genting on the previous day, Mercury saved a little grace when Chris Wherry stormed around to finish third, which moved him neatly on to the final rung of the podium.

Tomorrow the riders hit the road for a rolling stage around Shah Alam and Kaula Lumpar, though the overall GC looks set in stone.
