“Today our team had two main objectives: helping Anthon Charmig gain bonus seconds to move up on the overall podium and fighting for the sprint victory. I think our team worked excellently, all the guys gave 100%. We fought in the intermediate sprint but, unfortunately, couldn’t win the seconds. Nevertheless, our team was at its best. In the final sprint, I lacked position a bit, starting from far behind. I managed to move forward but couldn’t overtake the two riders ahead. In the end, third place. Overall, I’m very happy with how this week went. We gained valuable experience for the future, but most importantly, the team worked as a unified and cohesive group throughout all eight stages, and that’s something to be proud of," said Gleb Syritsa, who claimed one stage victory, two stage podium, and four stage Top-10 at this Le Tour de Langkawi.

In the General Classification Anthon Charmig finished 5th, while Harold Martín López repeated last year’s result, finishing 10th.
