José Serpa (Androni-Venezuela) took the win on stage 5 of Le Tour de Langkawi, winning ahead of Darren Lapthrone (Drapac).
After the first hour of racing, the peloton covered 47.8km – Adam Phelan (Drapac), 2nd overall, dropped out due to knee pain. 80km into the race, a break finally formed containing Alessandro De Marchi (Androni-Venezuela), Yohann Gene (Europcar), Rhy Pollock (Drapac) and James Williamson (New Zealand). They built up a 4 minute lead approaching the Bukit Tangga climb. Williamson attacked solo on the climb. The break had been absorbed by the time the next categorized climb of the day came up, the Genting Perez. Matteo Rabottini (Farnese-Selle Italia) and José Rujano (Androni-Venezuela) leaped off the front of the peloton, while GC leader, Dave Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda), lost ground.
Rabottini lead on the final climb, along with Serpa, Lapthorne, Ghader Mizbani (Tabriz Petrochemical), Alexsandr Dyachenko (Astana Pro Team), Mohammad Saufi Mat Senan (Terengganu Cycling Team), Muhamad Othman (Champion System) and Victor Nino Corridor (Azad University). Lapthorne broke off the front of the break with 5km left to race, Serpa bridged up to him. The duo built up a lead of 24 seconds, holding their stint until the end.

I’ve just found it really difficult to come from the road and replicate that form on the track. I had great form on the road but I’ve not been able to transfer it to the track. I’ve just struggled with the cadence. I don’t know why.

The fact that an image like this even exists is proof that pros will be pros. If you’re going to send a message, do it big. And do it with a win.
