Tour de Langkawi: Astana's Minali wins Stage 4, dedicates victory to Scarponi

Minali finished in 4:10:14 followed by another Italian Andrea Guardini (Bardiani CSF) and Malaysian Mohd Hariff Saleh of the Terengganu Cycling Team.

Canadian Adam de Vos of Rally Cycling tops the general classification (16:55:45), while Minali is in fourth place in 1 minute and 9 seconds behind the leader.
