Le Tour de Langkawi

Overview

The Tour de Langkawi is an annual cycling race which is held in Malaysia since 1996. The name of the event comes from the starting point of the first few editions, in Langkawi, Kedah, although some later editions did not include Langkawi in the race at all. The race is part of the UCI Asia Tour. Four jerseys are contested during the race, although in history the jersey colours changed all the time to suit the sponsor, they are general classification, points classification; King of the Mountains and Asian riders classification. In addition, there are two team titles to honour teams classification and also Asian teams classification. The tour is the biggest cycling event in Asia, and it is the only one in Asia to have granted two hors-category (2.HC).
