Le Tour de Langkawi 2007 - Stage 4

Dinner was good as usual.
Cause of the number of foreigners here, the menu throughout the tour is mostly western cuisines.
Had the privilege to dine with the Official Tour Chef.

This guy goes around with us, visiting the various kitchens of the various hotels the we are staying in and advise on the kind of food that we eat.
Hehehe, maybe if I buddy buddy with him he can maybe slip in a few of my favourite dishes.

So 4th Stage, Gua Musang to Kota Bahru.
Loddo took the yellow jersey again.
2 cyclists got injured near the finish line when someone tumbled in the middle of the bunch.

ALOT of school kids were lined up along the road to watch the race.
and they were all like happy and waving and shite....
IN THE FREAGGIN HOT SUN!

RESTEPC!

I was really touched by their enthusiasm,
there's just so much of it,
well its either that or their enjoying the fact that their cutting class and bumming outside with their friends.

Oh and I forgot to mention that Ng Yong Li, our first Malaysian professional cyclist also tumbled taking a sharp corner coming up to Cameron Highlands.
He was in sixth place when he fell off his bike.

In the fall one of his shoes broke and one of his breaks malfunctioned.
So he had to race with one leg pedaling and limited break capacity for about 3km to the finish line.
Finishing at 26th place (if i'm not wrong).

RESTEPC!
