Di Biase makes it a double while Mapei drive hard for home
By Steve Thomas in Port Dickson

Italian fast man Moreno Di Biase of the Mobilvetta team has once again triumphed in a mass sprint finish at this year's Tour de Langkawi. It came in the 196.7 kilometre stage 7, the longest of the tour. In a very close finish he pipped Daniele Galli (Index-Alexia) and race Robert Hunter (Mapei), who has not finished lower than fourth in any stage.
The 26 year old sprinter notched up his second victory in this year's event, and his third in all (stage win in 1999). And with two more potential bunch sprints left in this year's race it is actually possible that Di Biase can equal the record just set by his Panaria team countryman and adversary Enrico Degano, who has five Langkawi stage wins to his credit.
The flat stage between the southern towns of Kluang and Tampin looked on paper to be set for a bunch sprint, and after seven long hot and hard days in the saddle it was also a good bet that it would be a steady procession. The former turned out to be correct, but the latter was not.
Following a morning transfer from the previous day's stage finish in Johor Baru, the riders hit the road once more, only mercifully today's temperatures were mulled a little due to the slightly overcast skies. Although this made for cooler temperatures it also meant for an extremely humid day in the saddle, and one which was to be plagued with a biting crosswind, which was to prove the most decisive factor in the general outcome of the day's stage.

Unusually the race got off to a quiet start, with little in the way of attacking going on during the early kilometres. The first move of any significance came after 60 kilometres when a group of three riders went clear of the field. These three; Yan Tournier (Credit Agricole), Cesare Di Cinto (Acqua & Sapone) and Jorgen Bo Petersen (Team fakta) stretched their lead out to a maximum of 7'18 during their 60 kilometre open spree.
Eventually iTeamNova decided that enough was enough and went to the head of the peloton to set an evil pace in to the growing cross wind. This was to reel the three musketeers in during a cruelly short period of time, leaving the race wide open with 70 kilometres left to race. However, it proved to be iTeamNova's undoing as both their top GC men (Alan Iacuone and Dominique Perras) were dropped.
A stretch of deforested palm plantation allowed the cross wind to bite hard at the riders' pedals, which tempted Mapei to the front to perform a superb display of power and dominance. The pressure was on, in no small way. The field was shredded in to three groups, all desperately fighting to regain the disappearing wheels of the Mapei boys.
As the gap from the leaders grew the second two groups re-formed, leaving a Mapei powered super group of 59 riders at the head of the race. The most notable rider to be marooned in the rear group was Iacuone who was placed 5th overall on GC, and had been hoping to climb higher on the imminent mountain stage to Genting. His teammates dropped back from the lead group to aid his chase, but it was to be in vain against the Mapei powerhouse.

In to the closing stages Mapei drove harder still, with Tafi finishing off a fine lead out for yellow jersey wearer Robert Hunter, who simply had no response to Di Biase and Alexia's Daniele Galli when push came to shove.
Tomorrow's stage is set to be another fast finisher. At just 95 kilometres from port Dickson to Pataling Jaya this is also the shortest stage of the race, and the final calm before the Genting storm of Saturday, which should decide the GC once and for all.
