Le Tour de Langkawi 2007 - Stage 10

K.L. Criterium.
Starts and ends next to Dataran Merdeka.

Loddo won the stage ... AGAIN!
Making it his 5th win out of 10 stages this year.

BUT Charteau managed to maintain the yellow jersey,
making him the top rider in the General Classification Table.

Had breakfast with Koji on that morning and he can really speak Bahasa Malaysia,
well the basic necessities at least.

Really nice guy, very humble.
Even though communication was difficult he always tried to keep the conversation going.
Gave all of us at the table a picture of him in one of his races and even took the time to sign them all.

The last stage went on fairly smoothly,
no one got injured(to my knowledge),
and there were many people there.

I was quite worried about the size of the crowd at the beginning,
but once the weather cooled down,
people started populating the side of the roads,
and was soon cheering as the riders zoomed by.

So that wraps up the Le Tour de Langkawi 2007 stages,
BUT there is still the task of sending teams back and doing the postmortem report.
So even though there is still work to be done,
a huge chunk of the burden some of us were carrying are slowly dissipating.

p.s.
I was thinking of posting up pictures when I got back home,
but now that I think of how much work that involved,
I just might scratch that thought.
