DESARU, 8 July – True to form,L’Étape Johor by Tour de France presented by Majestic Johor returned with a bang for a second consecutive year to provide a memorable experience for more than 3,600 participants who thronged the exquisite race course of Desaru Coast over the first July weekend.
Interest for L’Étape dubbed “The World’s Greatest Amateur Cycling Event” was never in doubt, evident by the high participation from 47 countries who converged from all regions of the globe to Desaru Coast for the experience of competing like a Tour De France participant.

One of the main highlights of the event, however, was the plethora of festival activities that gave the participants’ an immense satisfaction of experiencing the event beyond the race course.
This included a memorabilia display by Tour de France, a French exhibition, pushbike competition, public showcase, new product launches, prize presentation and lucrative lucky draw prizes among others.
Those activities only served as the tip of the iceberg, as three other big L’Étape events drew thousands on Friday and Saturday.
The first one was the L’Étape Wav Jam, an electrifying yet interactive experience of 12 local indie talents who vowed with their various music genres and immersive vocal chords that delivered all the right feels.
That was not all, as official radio stations hotFM and buletinFM joined forces to stage a unique mini concert on Saturday that included Akademi Fantasia top performing artistes such as Marsha Milan, Amira Othman and Amir Masdi.
It promised everything that was expected – incredible performances, infectious beats and a party atmosphere that got the audience swaying to the music and grooving to the rhythm of the beat.
Both events were free, but provided priceless money can’t buy experience that helped to soothe the weary limbs of the participants.
The festival atmosphere also reverberated to the kids who had the time of their lives at the world’s first L’Étape branded Pushbike competition at the L’Étape Johor Festival Village.
More than 200 kids aged two to eight years old participated, and laughter and amusement filled the air as they raced to the finish line.
The excitement post-race continued to build with the epic after-party organized by Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast as participants mingled with refreshing drinks, accompanied by pulsating beats from the DJ deck.
As for the event itself, it unfolded as a competition like no other, and for South Africa’s Matthew Brittain it was extra special after he claimed the race elite category overall male champion, crossing the finish line in 3’17:40 seconds over 140 kilometres.
Brittain is also a 2012 Olympic gold medalist when he captured first place in men’s team rowing.
The 36-year-old said the mentality he instilled in training for rowing helped him greatly when he made the transition to cycling several years ago.
“Winning at the Olympics was an amazing experience product of hard work. The mentality and intensity for rowing is the same as training for cycling, and I am happy to have brought that same qualities to this race,” said Brittain.
“My gameplan here was to attack the leading pack after 90 kilometres. When I saw the opportunity at an uphill, I launched the attack of my life. I just put my head down and saw the vision of the yellow jersey. I had an absolutely amazing race, the roads were beautiful and the entire vibe was fantastic.”
Success clearly runs in the Brittain household as his wife Alicia won the female category with a time of 3’22:14 seconds.
Meanwhile, the presence of national athletes Anuar Manan, Aiman Zarif and Nabil Sofian added to the competitiveness of the race.
Organisers, Muse Group Asia were over the moon with the overall atmosphere of the event.
“We wanted to make this year’s event different from last year, which is why we worked hard to introduce these new festival events. We wanted to ensure that our participants’ experience did not just end after their race, but beyond that. To see everyone enjoying themselves not only gives us immense satisfaction, but also inspires us to continue creating cherished moments for our participants in the future,” said Muse Group Asia CEO Riduwan Matni.
The co-organiser, KPRJ Sports were honoured by the overwhelming support from the Malaysian cycling community.
“We are proud to host this event for the second time in Johor. It has always been our commitment to grow the sporting community in Johor, and there’s no better way than to bring L’Étape Johor itself to the country to attract our community of cyclists,” said the CEO Dato’ Lukman Abu Bakar.
Johor Chairman of Youth and Sports, Mohd Hairi Mad Shah, representing the Johor Chief Minister, Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi noted that L’Étape Johor has stamped its mark as a signature sporting event in the southern state.
“We have had close to 9,000 participants in the last two years, and it goes to show the huge appetite of cycling in our country. We hope to continue staging this event in Desaru and pledge our commitment to support this event in every way we can,” he said.
Also present was Johor Chairman of Tourism, Culture & Heritage Raven Kumar Krishnasamy.

He said, the process is so hard and difficult because they have to do multiple testing on the products before they go onto the market and contains lots of ups and downs and dangers as well.
Wong also disclosed that their next R&D process will become even more turbulent with the constant support from the partners and he expect in the next few days and years, Cardinals Racing sales volume will break through the previous years up to three to four times.

JOHOR BAHRU, 10 May – After a successful debut in Malaysia last year, L’Étape Malaysia is back with a host of latest upgrades to give cycling enthusiasts a big mission to fulfill when the Tour De France race model gets underway from July 7-8 at the sun-kissed shores of Desaru Coast.
Dubbed “The World’s Greatest Amateur Cycling Event”, L’Étape by Tour de France is the only cyclosportive series that gives amateur cyclists the opportunity to truly live the Tour de France experience where they will race like a Tour de France participant.
Last year’s edition drew a total of 4,700 participants, making L’Étape Malaysia to be officially recognised as the world’s second largest L’Étape by Tour de France.
L’Étape has been organised in more than 20 countries including Malaysia, and for this edition alone, over 2,500 participants have signed up so far, with organiser confident of securing 4,000 entries before the closing date of 9 June 2023.
Like last year, L’Étape Malaysia will consist of five racing categories. They include THE RACE (140km) and THE RIDE (60km) made up of individual men and women, as well as the Men’s Team (5 men) and Women’s Team (5 women).
This year’s edition will also see the introduction of the ELITE Category, a limited category that is dedicated exclusively to participants who want to challenge like the professional.
A professional race services will be provided for this category, including dedicated mobile feeding, professional timing chip, dedicated traffic and logistics support, dedicated neutral services and much more.
Hairi Mad Shah (4th from left) launched L’ETape Malaysia in Johor yesterday.
Not one to sit on their laurels despite a good turnout last year, the co-organiser MUSE Group Asia and KPRJ Sports have noted feedbacks from last year’s participants and pledged to stage a more comprehensive spectacle.
One key implementation this year is the introduction of an advanced timing chip technology, in a move to ensure the participants’ precise finishing time upon crossing the finish line.
The 2023 L’Étape Malaysia will also feature an improved technical team to drive enhanced performances from the racers.
Cyclomotion – the leading technical provider for amateur racing, will form part of the L’Étape Malaysia technical crew, which means a bigger race technical team from troubleshooting to performance related assistance.
Racers can also expect a different challenge this year with a new route introduced at the long, shaded course of Desaru Coast.
The 60km and 140km race routes will be separated so that they do not overlap, allowing cyclists to put their full focus on finishing with their best personal time.
While having separate routes would cost the organiser more due to more route collaterals, it is a small price to pay compared to the racing convenience and overall experience for the participants.
This is backed up with a big support from the local authorities, including sufficient traffic personnel to ensure the race flow is smooth from start to finish.
To reduce the risks of accidents, the water and aid stations will no longer be stationed by the road shoulder, rather it would be transformed into an “R&R” pitstop for participants to stop and fuel up.
The “R&R” would have its own space, meaning cyclists would have to turn away from the racecourse for their break, and this ultimately decreases the possibility of a pile-up, especially amongst first-timers who are not accustomed to water station stops.
A comprehensive race e-guide, including safety instructions would also be distributed before the race. These will be sent to the registered racers, and a short instructional video would also be available prior to race day.
To further prepare for race week, there will also be an eight-week L’Étape Cycling Clinic powered by aminoVITAL where studio trainers train alongside interested participants.
AminoVITAL is a sport drink that contains 3,000mg of amino acids with mainly Branched Chain Amino Acids, that helps in energy boosting, muscle endurance and muscle recovery.
Helping athletes carve out a successful career is also one of the objectives of L’Étape, which is set to be fulfilled through last year’s male champion Elmi Juhari and female winner Yeong Zhen Yi who will participate at the L’Étape Du Tour de France along with another Johor-born cyclist, Heng Zi Hen.
The Johor-born representation comes as a testament to the growth of road cycling in the state, and L’Étape Malaysia is giving a dream opportunity for this individual to participate at the prestigious L’Étape du Tour in France.
The L’Étape du Tour de France is a mass cycling event happening the same week as L’Étape Johor.
Elmi, Yeong, and Heng are set for the ultimate experience of competing at the highest level in ‘Wave 0’, which is a starting group composed of all the winners from L’Étape races across the globe.
MUSE Group Asia is proud to fulfill its promise of sending these three representatives to the L’Étape Du Tour de France, and are confident the introduction of the latest technology and safety features would set this event apart from last year.
“We wanted these selected cyclists’ to experience the best of L’Étape, and we are honoured to send them to the prestigious L’Étape Du Tour de France.
“We have worked hard to ensure that the participants’ get an enriching overall experience, especially when it comes to their safety and race timing. We want them to be able to go out there and give their best with a peace of mind, and we will strive to make that happen,” said CEO of Muse Group Asia, Riduwan Matni.
Johor Exco for Youth, Sports, Entrepreneur Development, Cooperatives and Human Resources Johor, Mohd Hairi Mad Shah was happy to welcome this international event to the Southern state once again.
“Hosting L’Étape Malaysia last year went some way to reinforcing the event on the global map. With a diverse participation from more than 40 countries this year, we are certain that Johor will also benefit immensely from the domestic tourism boost as we welcome them to experience our various attractions. Sending the Johor-born cyclist to the L’Étape Du Tour de France is also a testament to Johor’s commitment to sports development to continue unearthing new talents. We look forward to working together with all the stakeholders to make this another successful event,” he said.
For that, KPRJ would be working in tandem with Muse Group Asia to ensure the racers expectations are met.
“Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor Sdn Bhd (“KPRJ”) through its subsidiary, KPRJ Sports Sdn Bhd (“KSSB”) believes for this second year of organising the event, we will deliver the best racing experience for our participants, and it is evident through the latest introductions for this year’s event. We encourage every budding cyclist out there to come and be part of this premium global cycling event,” said Chief Executive Officer of KPRJ, Dato’ Lukman Abu Bakar.
Ambassador of France to Malaysia, His Excellency Axel Cruau was looking forward to everyone converging yet again for this iconic event.
“Since 1903, Le Tour de France has been so much more than a cycling race! It is a competition that tests the human limits, and yet that everyone can relate to. It takes place in the unique landscapes of France, and yet it is a show that the whole world can enjoy. It is a part of our national heritage that this year we are thrilled to share in Johor with our Malaysian friends,” he said.
“Chek Hup has been the official beverage sponsor – Coffee, Tea & Chocolate of this iconic cycling event for two consecutive years now. We are thrilled to be part of the cycling community once again, and to play our part by serving chilled and refreshing Kokoo Peppermint Chocolate Drink as an energy fuel to help the riders give their best performances. By constantly beholding the core principle of ‘We Value Life’, Chek Hup ensures that its beverages are all natural without any additives or artificial flavourings,” said Group Managing Director of Chek Hup, Joseph Tan.
Roslina Arbak, Chief Executive Officer of Desaru Development Holdings One Sdn. Bhd., master developer and operator of Desaru Coast said: “As an international destination, we are once again extremely proud and happy to be chosen as the official venue of L’Étape by Tour de France in Malaysia. This year, we are pleased to have Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast join in as the Official Hotel for the event.”
“Venue hosting L’Étape Johor has become a Desaru Coast showcase to more international sporting events. As one of the biggest cycling tournaments in the world, hosting L’Étape by Tour de France has not only benefited our destination, it has brought a wider gain to the greater Desaru community. For this reason, Desaru Coast is committed to its longstanding support to Johor state in making Johor a hub for sports tourism in the country. We hope to continue making Desaru Coast the home to L’Étape Malaysia in the years to come,” said Roslina.
