KERN PHRAMA REPLACE WORLDTEAM COFIDIS AT PLTDL 2025

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23rd – The French WorldTeam, Cofidis has withdrawn from the PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2025 (PLTdL25). Their spot will be taken by the Spanish ProTeam, Equipo Kern Pharma.

It was confirmed by the PLTdL25 Chief Operating Officer (COO), Emir Abdul Jalal after the team contacted the organisers last Thursday.

​In response, the organisers acted quickly and received immediate confirmation from Kern Pharma, who will be making a return to the 29th edition of the tour which runs from September 28 to October 5.

​”Although we’re a bit disappointed with team’s decision, we’re still confident the excitement of the PLTdL25 won’t be affected because Kern Pharma is also a great team. Due to time constraints, we don’t have the opportunity to lobby another WorldTeam as a replacement, and Kern Pharma, which was on the list of four teams that had to be left out previously, responded quickly and expressed their readiness to participate in PLTdL25,” said Emir in a media statement today.

​For a record, Equipo Kern Pharma made its first appearance in PLTdL23 with two of its riders, Pablo Castillo Zapater, finishing third overall, 58 seconds behind the overall green jersey winner Simon Carr (EF Education) while Jon Agirre Egana finished eighth.

​The team also finished third overall in the Best Team category behind EF Education and Euskaltel-Euskadi.

However, Kern Pharma had a stronger performance last year when they won the Best Team category finishing 1 minute and 39 seconds ahead of Astana.

​In addition, three of their riders were in the top 10 with Unai Iribar in third place overall followed by Ibon Ruiz (7th) and Jorge Gutierrez (8th).

​”At the moment, we have not received the list of six riders who will be sent by Kern Pharma to PLTdL25, but among the team’s 22 riders is the PLTdL22 champion, Ivan Sosa. It will certainly be interesting if Kern Pharma also fields this former Movistar rider from Colombia. We’re confident that after two consecutive years of experiencing the twists and turns of the PLTdL race, Kern Pharma will send a strong line-up, especially since they were not included in the wild card teams for this year’s Vuelta a Espana,” said Emir.

​Without Cofidis, the two WorldTeams that will be competing are XDS Astana and Team Picnic PostNL. Kern Pharma joins eight other ProTeams that have confirmed their participation – VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizane; Team Polti VisitMalta; Solution Tech Vini Fantini; Burgos Burpellet BH; Unibet Tietema Rockets; Total Energies; Tudor Pro Cycling and Uno-X Mobility.

The 29th edition of PLTdL25 will pass through 12 states in Peninsular Malaysia over 8 days, covering a total distance of 1,243.5km, starting in Pulau Langkawi and ending at KLCC, Kuala Lumpur.

​The 2ProSeries tour on the UCI Asia Tour racing calendar is organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) through the National Sports Council (MSN) with the support of the Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF).

The race will begin in Langkawi Island on September 28 with the first stage covering a distance of 96.5 kilometers (km) followed by Stage 2 from Padang Besar, Perlis to Kepala Batas, Penang (170.1km); Stage 3 from Gerik, Perak to Pasir Puteh, Kelantan (198.2km); Stage 4 from Kuala Terengganu to Kemaman (140.8km); Stage 5 from Temerloh to Fraser’s Hill, Pahang (133.7km); Stage 6 from Shah Alam, Selangor to Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan (123.4km); Stage 7 from Melaka to Medini, Johor (214.6km) and Stage 8 from Tangkak, Johor to Kuala Lumpur (180.5km) on October 5.

JAKOBSEN LEADS PICNIC POSTNL’S CHALLENGE

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 – Last year’s overall individual champion, Max Poole is not in Team Picnic PostNL line-up for this year’s PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2025 (PLTdL25).

Without Poole, the WorldTeam Team Picnic PostNL will be banking on the experience of Fabio Jakobsen as they begin the challenging eight-day PLTdL25 from September 28 to October 5.

With only one name from last year’s six-rider team lineup retained, Bjorn Koerdl, Picnic PostNL is counting on Jakobsen’s extensive experience as a sprint specialist to elevate the team’s profile, especially on the flat stages.

Undoubtedly, the 29-year-old Dutch-born rider from Heukelum will be counting on assistance from two of his teammates who can setup the pace in the final push namely Bram Welten and Dilion Corkery when they face off against other top sprinters.

PLTdL25 Chief Operating Officer (COO), Emir Abdul Jalal, said that although Poole’s absence might affects the excitement of this year’s race, Jakobsen’s presence makes up for it. Jakobsen has established himself as one of the world’s top sprinters, which will make the competition in the final dash to the finish line this year more open, intense and unpredictable.

“Jakobsen is a ‘big name’ as he has won one stage at the Tour de France and five stages at the Vuelta a Espana, including winning the Vuelta’s points jersey in 2021.

“With a collection of 46 career victories so far, including at the TdF and Vuelta, Picnic PostNL appears with the goal of winning a stage in the team’s second appearance this year. This is because, besides Jakobsen, his teammate Welten also has vast experience and is capable of pulling Jakobsen to the front of the peloton before creating space for the final sprint. Welten himself is capable of securing a stage win,” said Emir.

Welten, 28, who joined the team last year, has experience riding for other major WorldTeams like Arkea-Samsic (2020-2021), Groupama FDJ (2022-2023) and has ridden in three Grand Tours.

Without Poole, the battle for the overall individual green jersey this year also rest on the shoulders of 21-year-old rider Juan Guillermo Martinez who was signed from the ProTeam, Q36.5. Koerdl, 21, finished 50th overall last year as a support rider.

The Colombian rider was the King of the Mountains at the Giro della Valle d’Aosta last year, in addition to finishing an impressive third overall at the Tour of Turkey and eighth overall at the Tour of Rwanda this year.

Another rider sent by the team is Jurgen Zommermaand, 19, who is expected to take on domestique duties for Jakobsen, Koerdl and Martinez.

“It will certainly be interesting to see how Picnic PostNL is able to compete in this PLTdL25 as they will be strongly challenged throughout the eight-day race from Stage 1 in Langkawi Island to the final day of Stage 8 at KLCC,” Emir added.

PLTdL25 will consist of eight stages, covering a total distance of 1,243.5km which will traverse every state across Peninsular Malaysia. The 2.ProSeries status race on the UCI Asia Tour calendar is organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) through the National Sports Council (MSN) with the support of the Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF).

The race will begin in Langkawi Island on September 28 with the first stage covering a distance of 96.5 kilometers (km) followed by Stage 2 from Padang Besar, Perlis to Kepala Batas, Penang (170.1km); Stage 3 from Gerik, Perak to Pasir Puteh, Kelantan (198.2km); Stage 4 from Kuala Terengganu to Kemaman (140.8km); Stage 5 from Temerloh to Fraser’s Hill, Pahang (133.7km); Stage 6 from Shah Alam, Selangor to Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan (123.4km); Stage 7 from Melaka to Medini, Johor (214.6km) and Stage 8 from Tangkak, Johor to Kuala Lumpur (180.5km) on October 5.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 – Two highly experienced former foreign riders who once don Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) jersey will be the key assets for the Spanish ProTeam, Burgos-Burpellet BH in the PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi 2025 (PLTdL25) schedule to be held from September 28 to October 5.

​In the preliminary list of six riders submitted to the PLTdL Secretariat, the team, making its fourth consecutive appearance, has included Merhawi Kudus and Jambaljamts Sainbayar who are well-known to cycling fans in the country.

The team will also retain last year’s King of the Mountain polka dot jersey winner, Mario Aparicio Munoz. Three other riders are David Martin, Georgios Bonglas, and Jose Manuel Diaz Gallego, all of whom have previously competed in the PLTdL.

​PLTdL25 Chief Operating Officer, Emir Abdul Jalal stated that based on the list of six riders, the team appears to be aiming for at least three titles in the eight-stage race.

“Merhawi Kudus, Sainbayar, Aparicio and Gallego are all very experienced and respected climbers. So it’s no surprise that besides aiming for victories in Stage 3 Gerik-Pasir Puteh and Stage 5 Temerloh-Bukit Fraser, they will also be hunting for the overall individual green jersey, the King of the Mountain polka dot jersey and the overall team classification,” said Emir in a media statement today.

Kudus, 31, wore the TSG jersey last year and first made a name for himself after joining MTN-Qhubeka in 2014, where he finished second in the PLTdL overall individual classification.

​During his four years with Qhubeka, his great talent led the rider to join WorldTour teams Astana (2019-2021) and EF Education (2022-2023) where he had the opportunity to compete in the Giro d’Italia (twice), the Tour de France (once) and the Vuelta a Espana (6 times).

Sainbayar, 31, also a respeced climber, wore the TSG jersey for three years (2021-2023) and finished 9th in the overall individual classification at PLTdL22. He also achieved numerous successes at the Asian level before the Mongolian national champion joined Burgos last year.

​Aparicio, 25, has been with Burgos since 2021 and repaid the Spanish ProTeam’s trust by winning the King of the Mountain title at last year’s PLTdL24, accumulating 27 points, 5 points ahead of overall individual champion Max Poole from Team Firmenich PostNL (now Picnic PostNL) in addition to finishing sixth in the overall individual classification.

​Strengthening Burgos’ challenge will be Gallego, 31, an experienced rider who has competed twice in the Vuelta (2022 and 2023) and won the Combativity award twice in that Grand Tour.

​Burgos two sprint specialists this time are the Spanish rider Martin, 26, who rode for the Polti Kometa team in last year’s PLTdL and three-time Greek national champion Bonglas, 35, who made his first PLTdL appearance in 2020 with the Ssios Miogee Cycling Team.

​”Burgos strength this time is likely on the climbing stages, and with four climbers, it will be very interesting to see the team’s strategy each day especially with Kudus, Sainbayar and Aparicio on the hilly routes.

​”With all their experience and ‘insider knowledge of the routes and unpredictable weather in this country, Burgos appears to have a unique strength throughout the eight days of competition,” Emir added.

PLTdL25 will pass through all 12 states in Peninsular Malaysia over eight days, covering a total distance of 1,243.5km, starting in Langkawi Island and ending at KLCC, Kuala Lumpur.

​The ProSeries status tour on the UCI Asia Tour calendar is organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) through the National Sports Council (MSN) with the support of the Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF).

The race will begin in Langkawi Island on September 28 with the first stage covering a distance of 96.5 kilometers (km) followed by Stage 2 from Padang Besar, Perlis to Kepala Batas, Penang (170.1km); Stage 3 from Gerik, Perak to Pasir Puteh, Kelantan (198.2km); Stage 4 from Kuala Terengganu to Kemaman (140.8km); Stage 5 from Temerloh to Fraser’s Hill, Pahang (133.7km); Stage 6 from Shah Alam, Selangor to Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan (123.4km); Stage 7 from Melaka to Medini, Johor (214.6km) and Stage 8 from Tangkak, Johor to Kuala Lumpur (180.5km) on October 5.

SEPANG, 17 Ogos – Di sebalik deruman enjin dan sorakan penonton yang menggegarkan litar, sebuah inisiatif kreatif kini berjaya menarik ramai pengunjung di setiap venue Kejuaraan PETRONAS Cub Prix Malaysia.

Pertandingan mewarna di atas nama ‘Happy Bag’ bukan sahaja menjadi aktiviti sampingan, malah kini menjadi tarikan utama yang dinantikan oleh keluarga dan kanak-kanak.

​Pertandingan tersebut yang baharu diperkenalkan tahun ini dilaporkan sentiasa mendapat sambutan pengunjung di setiap venue Cub Prix setakat ini.

Fenomena ini membuktikan bahawa acara sukan bermotor yang berorientasikan adrenalin juga mampu menyediakan ruang yang santai dan kreatif untuk semua lapisan masyarakat.

​Menurut pengurus promosi dan pemasaran Safe Aim Mutual Sdn Bhd, Yvonne Ng, inisiatif ini merupakan sebahagian daripada strategi mereka untuk menarik penonton baharu.

“Kami mahu membawa kelainan agar Cub Prix bukan sahaja dikenali sebagai perlumbaan, tetapi juga sebagai acara riadah hujung minggu untuk seisi keluarga.

“Pertandingan mewarna ‘Happy Bag’ ini telah berjaya mencipta persekitaran yang lebih mesra keluarga dan memberikan aktiviti menarik untuk anak-anak sementara ibu bapa menikmati perlumbaan,” jelas Yvonne.

​Beliau, selaku penganjur, menyatakan rasa bangga melihat sambutan yang sangat memberangsangkan di setiap venue Cub Prix terhadap pertandingan mewarna Happy Bag setakat ini yang bermula di Sepang awal tahun ini diikuti Tangkak, Johor, Sg. Long Kajang, Teluk Intan, Perak, Kuala Terenggnau dan kembali di Sepang pada 16 ogos lalu.

“Kami percaya kreativiti boleh wujud di mana-mana, termasuk di litar perlumbaan.”

​​Seorang ibu, Siti Hajar, 38, yang membawa dua orang anaknya menyertai pertandingan mewarna Happy Bag ke Litar Permotodan Terengganu baru-baru ini, mengakui aktiviti ini amat membantu dan sangat bermakna, sekali gus menyerlahkan bakat yang ada pada semua kanak-kanak.

“Anak-anak saya memang seronok ikut suami menonton perlumbaan, tetapi kadang-kadang mereka cepat bosan. Dengan adanya pertandingan mewarna ini, mereka ada aktiviti yang menyeronokkan dan kami boleh meluangkan masa bersama-sama dengan lebih baik,” katanya.

​Kejayaan berterusan pertandingan mewarna ‘Happy Bag’ ini dilihat sebagai satu penanda aras baharu dalam penganjuran acara sukan, yang mana ia bukan sahaja memberi fokus pada sukan itu sendiri, tetapi juga membina pengalaman bermakna untuk seluruh keluarga.

Setakat ini, hampir 500 kanak-kanak pelbagai kaum tampil menyahut cabaran pada setiap pertandingan mewarna Happy Bag di semua venue Cub Prix.

Pertandingan ini dibahagikan kepada dua kategori iaitu kategori 3 hingga 6 tahun dan juga kategori 7 hingga 12 tahun.

Hadiah-hadiah yang ditawarkan untuk kedua-dua kategori tersebut berupa wang tunai iaitu RM150 untuk juara; RM100 untuk tempat kedua, RM70 (tempat ketiga) serta RM50 untuk pemenang tempat keempat dan kelima.

Hadiah berupa barangan Cub Prix akan diberikan kepada peserta yang mendapat tempat keenam hingga kesepuluh.

Selepas ini, pertandingan mewarna Happy Bag ini akan diadakan di Litar Lumba Tangkak Johor pada 6 September nanti sempena Pusingan 7 kejuaraan PETRONAS Cub Prix Malaysia.

Penyertaan adalah percuma dan setiap peserta hanya perlu mendaftar secara ‘walk-in’ di perkarangan pentas utama Litar Lumba Tangkak.
