"This one's for you, Matt" - O'Neill dedicates win to fallen friend
Leaderboard tightens up, but Koji holds strong
By Anthony Tan in Bachok, with additional reporting by Shane Stokes
|
Australian time trial champion Nathan O'Neill (Navigators Insurance) was a natural favourite for today's race against the clock in Bachok, and lived up to expectations by blitzing the 20 kilometre course at an average speed of almost 50 kilometres an hour.
The 30 year-old dedicated his win to his club-mate back home, who he idolised as teenager when O'Neill first began cycling in 1988, but was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident while training last week.
"Yeah, I was really motivated for today, I really wanted to put it together and win today," he said. "I want to dedicate today's race to my good friend who was killed last week in a training accident, and it's his funeral today, so this is for Matthew, Matthew Cole's his name - this one's for you, Matt."
Making up half of the three minute deficit to overnight leader Koji Fukushima (Bridgestone Anchor), O'Neill catapulted himself into second overall, but said he was only thinking of the stage win, rather than a chance - albeit an outside one - to grab the yellow jersey.
"I was really only thinking about the stage win - that's all I cared about," he said to Cyclingnews straight after he crossed the line in a time of 24 minutes, 42.76 seconds (avs. 49.29 km/h). "To be perfectly honest, I'd rather not have the jersey, but if I get it, I'll take it... it's always good to have for just one day."
|
Fortunately for Fukushima, O'Neill got his wish. Riding with the strength of the golden fleece, the 31 year-old Japanese rider finished in a very respectable 39th place, and still leads the Tour de Langkawi by almost one and a half minutes.
"The next rider was two minutes and a half behind, so I said [to myself] I can do that. There were so many big riders, so I was very nervous of them... now I can't believe I can keep the jersey," said Fukushima, who promised his girlfriend who died three years ago that he would try his best. "
"I very glad I can keep my jersey; it will be very hard to keep the yellow jersey because of the great teams, but we will try to keep it."
Besides O'Neill, other big movers and shakers on GC were: Ryan Cox and Tiann Kannemeyer (Barloworld), who finished second and fourth on the stage and now third and fifth overall; Jose Rujano and Marlon Perez (Colombia-Selle Italia), third and sixth on the stage and now fourth and seventh overall; Michael Barry, Tom Danielson and Fumiyuki Beppu (Discovery Channel), now sixth, eighth and ninth overall respectively; and Jurgen Van De Walle (Mr Bookmaker.Com-SportsTech), who rounds out the top 10 on general classification going into tomorrow's stage.
Other post-race quotes
Ryan Cox (Barloworld), 2nd @ 5s

"It was really flat today. I would have liked it if there was a bit of a hill in it because then maybe I could have won the stage. But the main thing was not to lose any time on the climbers, so I have done that. It is always a bad thing if you have lost a bit of time because you have got to attack them, but now they have to attack me, which is better. It is in our favour.
"It was a good ride too for the team. It was very good for the team, too - a lot of us were up there [four in the top 13-Ed], so the team prize will be ours for the day. I am happy with the day and the team rode really well too. We got the team prize. There are a couple of flat stages to come so I will just stay out of trouble and then win Genting! That will be okay...
"Now that my team see that I am going really well on the flat, so the hills will be even better. So they will just keep me out of trouble and, if need be, control the race a little bit."
Tom Danielson (Discovery Channel), 9th @ 41s

"Today, I just kept a steady rhythm over the whole course and didn't try to win it. This year, I'm definitely peaking a lot later in the season, right around May, so I came in here with good training, but a little bit over-trained.
"I would say over this distance, Nathan's one of the best time triallists in the world. All the problems he's had, I couldn't be happier for him to win this stage; he was a team-mate of mine [on Saturn-Ed] and taught me so much.
"Right now, it's great to shuffle the classification a little bit, get some different teams riding on the front. Every single day [until Genting] is flat, and Graeme Brown is the best sprinter here, and it looks like he has a really strong team and is really motivated - so he'll still be riding for sprints and you'll probably see more of our guys helping him out.
"But Genting's such a hard stage and in this ridiculous heat... (looks over himself) I mean, look at me - I looked like I just jumped out of the pool! You can write on Cyclingnews, 'there's Danielson, fresh out of the pool next to the TT course!'"
Graeme Brown (Ceramica Panaria-Navigare), 113th @ 3'46
|
"For me, today wasn't as hard as the other two guys here [O'Neill and Fukishima]. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a sprint stage; I think in the next three stages, there will be a possibility of a sprint, so it's a goal for our team. Obviously, the team's been performing well in the sprints, so hopefully we can get another stage win or two."
