Stage 11 - February 17: Kuala Lumpur Tower - Shah Alam, 162.9 km

Bettini cleans up for Mapei

By Steve Thomas, cyclingnews.com correspondent

The world's tallest building, the KL Tower, opened the penultimate stage of the 2001 Tour De Langkawi. This was, on paper at least, a chance for the sprinters, and those teams without palmares so far in the race to make amends, and to go home with something in the cabinet.

The smart money would have been on one of the American teams, Saturn or Mercury, to come up with something special, though the French have also had a lean race so far. Either way it looked to be a battle for stage scraps, as opposed to a serious day for those with overall GC designs. With Paolo Lanfranchi and Paolo Bettini lying first and second overall, and with the team leading in all but the Asian rider category, expectations were that the boys in blue would simply keep control of things and maintain there mastery, and possibly leave the stage for the rest to fight out.

From the off the pace was almost as hot as the temperature, with a near 50kph average for the first couple of hours. Break after break tried to cut loose, with a special effort being made by the Canadian national team. With all of this action surging around them Mapei played the perfect deck, by sitting at the front of the peloton and keeping any potentially dangerous invaders within shooting distance. Much of this work was being handled by Bettini himself, who was playing the perfect lieutenant to his team leader Lanfranchi.

Eventually a small group moved ahead, and established a near four minute lead over the peloton, though there was nobody of any threat to the Mapei riders or the GC. As the finish drew near, a combined Credit Agricole and Ag2r train hit the front to reel in the escapees, which they did rapidly. Entering the finishing circuit at Shah Alam the break was trawled in. Four laps of a soon to be wet, and fast, city center circuit lay ahead. Once again the Canadians were trying to make an impression, but it was ultimately to no avail.

As the heavens opened the rains fell once again on the streets of Shah Alam, and a tense and frantic bunch sprint loomed ominously. With top sprinters Koerts and Quarenta already on the plane home, this finale was all set to be something of a lottery. But in bike racing terms, lotteries always have lucky numbers. The audacious lucky number today was to be Mr. Bettini himself, who powered home comfortably to take the stage from Selle Italia's Andris Nauduzs and the oldest man in the race, New Zealander Graeme Miller, who is starring in the Malaysian Telekom team.

Tomorrow, the race hits the center of the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, for a 76 km criterium, which should be something of a victory roll for the all-conquering Mapei team.
