Re: Tour deLangkawi
The SA lads have done well there in the past on national level. I think they came in 6th last year (not sure).
Mr. Hunter will be in Mapei colours this year.

Re: Tour deLangkawi
Apparently the Fourth stage is a climbers stage (Cat1), and he did well, but he is more suited to sprinting. I think the climbs could take their toll, tho. Depends if his team can help him.
From the TDL site: Sprinters will have to take a back seat as the Tour enters the fourth day with the Tapah-Bentong route providing climbers a chance to hog the limelight. The 176 km journey which starts off in Jalan Raja in Tapah takes riders to the first real climb of the race, a Category 1 Frasers Hill gap climb which could split the peloton as they enter the finishing point in Bentong (which is just 50 kms away from the top of the Gap). A change in leader's jersey is most likely!

Re: Tour deLangkawi
Hunter 1min 49 secs after Stage 5. There's a Colombian in pursuit. Now they can climb. Word has it that Allan Iacuone from iTeamNova.com might be on the move. Don't know anything about him. :-/
