6th Tour de Langkawi - 2.3Malaysia, February 6-18, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 8 - February 14: Kuala Kubu Baru - Tanah Rata, 154.4 km1-2 punch to MapeiBy Mark Cassley-Sharon, cyclingnews.com correspondent Mapei - Quick Step finally took control of the Tour de Langkawi with a decisive win by Paolo Lanfranchi to take the first of the Tour's two mountain stages. He won the 154.04 kilometre Stage 8 to the Mountain Resort Town of Tanah Rata in the Cameron Highlands in a time of 3h51'55". In a result which tasted as sweet as the tea they grow in the area, Lanfranchi's teammate Paolo Bettini, who finished third just behind Alexio Alluminio's Pascal Hervé, has taken over as race leader. Bettini, who has already won a mass sprint finish on the flat, was asked whether he was a sprinter who can climb, or a climber who can sprint. He offered the following answer, "I am not a specialist in either. In fact I don't think that it good to be a specialist in one thing. On Friday we have the [individual] time-trial, and I am definitely not a specialist in that! Tomorrow will be important and I will see what I can do. It was always our plan to take the stage and the yellow jersey". This stage was always going to upset the standings on General Classification. The only questions were who? and how? Only a handful of names were in the hat - Chris Horner, last year's champion, Niklas Axelsson and Chris Wherry of Mercury, Julio Perez of Panaria, Kam-Po Wong of Telekom Malaysia, Hervé, Lanfranchi and Bettini. The rest of the field were there as supporting characters in the drama to unfold. The stage was really two in one. The first section of 80 kms along flat roads and containing three sprints, were a chance for the peloton to stretch its legs and give the riders with few ambitions in the mountains a chance to shine. Accordingly, most of the first two hours was punctuated by breaks and re-groupings. None was of any real duration but combined was enough to maintain an average speed of 44.1 km/h over the first two hours. One of the last riders to attack was Roberto Lochowski of Fakta, star of a 100 km lone break on Stage 7, who failed to make headway before the start of the climb at 96 km. Within a few kilometres the entire complexion of the race was beginning to change. The initial 10 kilometres of climbing saw various attacks from Mercury and Telekom Allstars, but then with an attack by Rinaldo Nocentini of Mapei, the long process of culling rivals had begun. Nocentini's place was quickly taken by teammate Davide Bramati and by 111 km the peloton started to split. A surprise absence from the leading group was Horner. Perez was soon dropped as the pace proved too much. The main group split again at 144 km with a group of more than fifteen riders containing the main contenders pulling clear. Graeme Miller, who has been battling to stay with the main group, was dropped with 5 km to go. With just 3 km to go the leading riders, which included Wherry, Lanfranchi, Hervé and Bettini, started to break up. At 3 km to the climb, with the rain coming down, Hervé attacked taking Lanfranchi with him. Bettini and Wherry quickly responded, and the quartet could be seen battling it out over the last 500m. Hervé held the lead until a short distance to go, but Lanfranchi had the greater strength and speed and took it on the line with almost a bike length to spare. The rest of the peloton struggled home over the next 26 minutes. Jans Koerts, relinquishing his Yellow Jersey with utmost grace on the podium, finished in 87th place with the same time as Chris Horner. Koerts now lies in 74th place overall, but still leads the points competition from Bettini and Quaranta. Lanfranchi has extended his lead in the King of the Mountains competition, with Hervé second and Walter Beneteau of Bonjour in third. The riders will have but a night's rest to prepare themselves for Stage 9, 132 km from Tapah to the Genting Highlands. The stage makes up for its relative shortness with the ferocious steepness of the climb itself, reputedly to be the steepest of any race in the world. Julio Perez won the stage to Genting last year, and one can only suppose that his poor showing today means he is saving himself for the double. Bettini and Lanfranchi will be under immense pressure from Hervé and Wherry, and of course Horner cannot be written off, yet.
