Weather at the finish city of Kuala Lumpur at 11:35 AM, local time: 31C (87F), fair, with the wind from the southwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). At 1:00 there is an 80% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage eight report.

The 27th edition of the Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 ended with a bang with Gleb Syritsa of Astana Qazaqstan Cycling taking the final stage and Simon Carr of EF Education-EasyPost confirming his status as the best overall rider, here today.

It was Syritsa’s second stage victory in this year’s edition as a full pro, and his third career win in Le Tour de Langkawi, after taking last year’s Kuala Lumpur stage in Astana colours at the same spot. Today’s 156.5km-Stage 8 started from Setia Alam and ended at KLCC.

It was a tight finish to the line with the Russian winning over Caja Rural’s Daniel Babor in a tiny fraction of the wheel, in front of the iconic Petronas Twin Tower Kuala Lumpur. Babor had also a stage win in the bag after winning Stage 4 in Meru Raya.

Two-stage winner, Arvid de Kleijn, who was unwell with a blocked nose over the past few days, did well to come in third to end his campaign with creditable results for Tudor Pro Cycling Team.

It was a day to remember for 25-year-old Carr, who made history by becoming the first British rider to be crowned as overall winner in the Tour’s 27-year history.

Carr, who held on to the Green Overall Winner Jersey since the Genting Highlands’ Stage 5 which he won by 49 seconds over teammate Alexander Jefferson Cepeda, was well protected by his team throughout what he described was a hard race.

Syritsa, who was part of a 14-men breakaway group earlier in the race was simply overjoyed over his achievement in Tour de Langkawi: “It’s been a good Tour de Langkawi for me, a win last year and twice this year…I’m super happy.

"It was a hard day on the saddle today, and I was in the early breakaway group…my team did well to help me right up to the finish,” said Syritsa.

Babor, meanwhile had no complaints despite finishing a close second behind Syritsa. “I’m just happy to finish the race in second place…today’s stage was a hard and super crazy, with lots of crashes. All in all, it’s been a good race for me, I’m just super happy with my outing here in Malaysia.”

Carr, elated over his first overall victory as a pro rider, heaped praises on his teammates, whom he said rode hard from the start to the end of the race. EF Education-Easy Post came to the race with clear intentions of winning the general classification by bringing a team full of reputable climbers.

“I’m really happy with the win, more so, as the first British rider to win the overall title. It’s a special feeling….it was a very hard stage today, but our guys did well especially in bringing back the breakaway group.

"I’m hoping that this win will be a beginning for better things to come for me, a stepping stone for a bigger pro career. I’m progressing little by little with every race, it’s been a good race for me here, no doubt” said Carr.

Tudor’s Simon Pellaud confirmed his status as the 2023 King of Mountains, taking the Red Polka Dot Jersey with an overall 32 points, 12 points ahead of overall winner Simon Carr.

“I’m super happy with this win, it’s been a tough week, tough race, but in the end, great race, and great results, and great memories to bring home from Malaysia,” said Pellaud, who also took the Most Combative Award for his breakaway efforts in the fast-pace race.

Two-stage winner Arvid de Kleijn, among the most successful Dutch riders in the Tour, led the sprints classification from start to finish to finally claim the Sprinters Jersey, amassing an overall 72 points, ahead of Syritsa (58) and Sasha Weemaes (Human Powered Health) 55 points.

“Overall, we did well here in Malaysia, with many podiums, and brought back home two jerseys…so it’s great, we’re happy with the outcome,” said de Kleijn.

Astana’s Vadim Pronskiy ended his campaign with the White Jersey intact on his back, as the 2023 Best Asian rider, clocking a total time of 29:18.56s. Mongolian Jambaljamts Sainbayar (Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team) came in second overall, with a 2:04s deficit.

Meanwhile, three Malaysians who were in the top 10 bracket of the Asian classification include Muhammad Nur Aiman Aiman Rosli (Malaysian National Team) at the 5th spot, followed by Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff (8th, TSG) and Muhammad Shaiful Adlan (9th, Malaysian National Team).

The 27th edition of the Tour, which started in Kerteh Terengganu on September 23, ended here today with 109 finishers.

Weather at the finish city of Seremban at 11:00 AM, local time: 33C (91F), fair, with the wind from the southeast at 11 km/hr (7 mph). There is an 11% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage seven summary.

Belgian Sasha Weemaes of Human Powered Health finally nicked his first pro win he was desperately looking for after edging out Arvid De Kleijn in another close bunch sprint at the end of Stage 7 at Dataran Centrio here.

Weemaes who came in second in Melaka yesterday behind de Kleijn, finally got the better of Arvid, lunging hard to hit the final line first in a time of 2:31.45s.

It was third again on the podium, the second time in a row for Gleb Syritsa of Astana Qazaqstan, who took Stage 2 win in Kota Bharu.

After two second placings in Stage 1 and Stage 6 and third in Stage 3, the Sint-Niklass-born Weemaes, who spent five seasons with Sport Vlaanderen Baloise since 2018, made a perfectly timed sprint in the last 25 metres before lunging his bike to the line to win his first ProSeries win of the season.

Going into the flamme rouge, the Human Powered Health train set Weemaes for the sprint, which the Belgian executed perfectly behind De Kleijn wheels and sprinted from the right side to deliver the win on the penultimate day of the Tour, which started in Kerteh last Saturday.

The race comes to a close tomorrow with another flat race, serving sprinters for a final shot at a win from Setia Alam in Selangor to the heat of Kuala Lumpur, KLCC.

Barring any unforeseen happenings, Briton Simon Carr of EF Education-EasyPost is poised for the LTDL 2023 overall champion crown, after safely keeping the Green Jersey on his back today.

The 25-year-old Carr is still tops in the general classification with a 49 second advantage over teammate Alexander Jefferson Cepeda.

Carr however is still 12 points behind mountains classification leader Simon Pellaud of Tudor Cycling Team (32 points), who, with no mountains left, is the 2023 Red Polka Dot jersey winner.

Weemaes was simply relieved with his first ProSeries win and was quick to credit the win to his teammates.

“I’m happy with the win, it was a really fast race around 47kph, but the boys never gave up and worked hard to set me up.

“It was a hard win for me, the tactic was to get behind Arvid’s wheel, move out to the right side in the last 25 metres, and timed my sprint perfectly. It was not a good season for me due to some health problems, and I’m happy to win here,” said Weemaes who is still without a pro contract for next season.

De Kleijn’s hopes of winning a triple here were dashed, after finishing a close second behind Weemaes.

“It was a fast and hot stage, a very hard race today with lots of attacks. Toward the final line, I think I went off a little too early and just exploded…I was just not fast enough today,” said De Kleijn.

De Kleijn remained in the Orange Jersey for the seventh day, boosting his position at the top of the points classification after winning the first two intermediate sprints of the day. He now leads the standings with 63 points while closest rivals Weemaes and Syritsa are in second and third respectively with 48 and 43 points.

The Dutchman however remained in high spirits for tomorrow’s stage, determined to win the final battle and leave Malaysia with great results and impact on the Swiss team.

With 112 riders on the start line, the day started aggressively with Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team rider Jambaljamts Sainbayar and Masaki Yamamoto of JCL Team Ukyo at the front but was later reeled in by the peloton with eight kilometres to go.

For his efforts, Yamamoto took the Most Combative award.

The race wraps up tomorrow with a flat 156.5km final stage which serves sprinters with the last shot to be on the podium.

The race starts from Setia City Convention Centre (1200 hrs), with two Cat 4 climbs at Puncak Alam (15.4km) and Meru (19,4km) and three intermediate sprints at Kapar, Sungai Buloh and Paya Jaras, before ending in from Petronas Twin Tower in the heart of Kuala Lumpur (est 1538 hrs).

123.8 kilometers raced at an average speed of 48.949 km/hr

Thursday, September 28: Stage 6, Karak - Melaka, 174.5 km

Arvid De Kleijn wins his second stage this Tour de Langkawi.

Les Woodland's book Cycling's 50 Triumphs and Tragedies: The rise and fall of bicycle racing's champions is available in print, Kindle eBook & audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish city of Melaka at 11:00 AM, local time: 32C (88F), fair, with the wind from the east at 10 km/hr (6 mph). There is an 8% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage six summary.

Dutch sprinter Arvid de Kleijn won a tight bunch sprint into the finish line of Stage 6 at Dataran Pahlawan here to deliver Tudor Cycling Team’s their second stage win in the Le Tour de Langkawi 2023.

It was a tight tussle against Human Power Health’s Sasha Weemaes who fought hard before losing out narrowly at the line to de Kleijn, who now became the first rider to win two stages this year, apart from being the second Dutch who won in Melaka, after Jan Koerts in 2001.

Astana Qazaqstan’s Gleb Syritsa, winner of Stage 2, came in third with the same time of 4:08.19s.

Simon Carr of EF Education-EasyPost stayed out of trouble, arriving safely in the bunch to remain in the overall leader’s Green Jersey for the second day, still 49 and 59 seconds ahead of teammate Alexander Jefferson Cepeda Ortiz and Pablo Castrillo (Equipo Kern Pharma) respectively.

De Kleijn, who was racing without his sprint leader’s jersey due to some technical issues, remained in KBS Orange Sprinters’ Jersey for the sixth day with a healthy 45 points, nine and 11 points ahead of closest rivals Enrico Zanoncello (Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizane) and Gleb Syritsa (Astana Qazaqstan) respectively.

“I’m happy to know that I’m the second Dutch to win here in Melaka. But most importantly, I’m happy to deliver this win for the team. It was really tight at the end and we were struggling a bit towards the line. I had maybe one acceleration left but, in the end, got it under control at the right time and managed to finish it off,” said De Kleijn, adding that the team will be going hard for wins in the last two stages.

Second-placed Sasha Weemaes, who lost out to de Kleijn in Stage 1 and third behind Daniel Babor (Caja Rural) and George Jackson (Bolton Equities) in Stage 4, said he had a perfect lead out in the final dash but went off too early.

“I had a good lead out, but went off a bit early…Arvid was just stronger today,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tudor’s Simon Pellaud remained in the Red Polka Dot jersey with a 12-point lead over EF Education’s Simon Carr and with no mountain stages in the last two stages, the Swiss rider is poised to be crowned King of Mountains of the 27th edition.

Kazakh’s Vadim Pronsky (Astana Qazaqstan) kept the White Jersey for Best Asian Rider intact after finishing today’s stage with a total time of 23:34.44s, 2mins.07s ahead of Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team’s Jambaljamts Sainbayar.

Sainbayar tried hard to close the gap by breaking away early but to no avail despite finishing as the best Asian rider in 14th today. The Mongolian rider was also voted as Most Combative Rider of the day.

While climbers were happy to stay back and take respite after yesterday’s gruelling climb, sprinters were aggressive from the start with early attacks before the first intermediate sprint.

EF Education, current Team GC leader, kept the peloton well under control, securing Carr’s position as the overall leader for the second day.

“It’s great to be in the leader’s jersey, it’s truly special. I’m happy with my current form, having won a stage in Genting, and now wearing this leader’s jersey, it’s already a victory for me,” said the 25-year-old Briton.

It will be another flat journey in tomorrow’s penultimate Stage 7 from Muar to Seremban 2 which offers three intermediate sprints at Umbai (28.6 km), Cheng (47.8km) and Linggi (91km).

Another fast action is on the cards as sprinters charge hard for a podium finish at Dataran Centrio in Seremban 2.

174.5 kilometers raced at an average speed of 42.164 km/hr

997.8 kilometers raced so far at an average speed of 42.355 km/hr

Wednesday, September 27: Stage 5, Slim River - Genting Highlands, 126.4 km

Simon Carr takes a solo win at Genting Highlands

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations is available in both Kindle eBook & audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish at Genting Highlands at 11:05 AM, local time: 24C (76F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the southeast at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 35% chance of rain at 2:00.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage five summary.

Pre-race favourite Simon Carr crushed his rivals in the last four kilometres with a strong climb to take the Genting Highlands stage which saw EF Education-EasyPost registering a one-two finish at the summit of the queen stage here today.

The 25-year-old Briton rode strongly in the hardest section of the punishing climb, shaking off Alexander Jefferson Cepeda at the 4km mark and went off on his own right up to the summit finish with a time of 3hrs 24.06s – 49 seconds ahead of his Ecuadorian teammate.

It was the fifth time, in the Tour’s history, that riders from the same team had succeeded in a one-two finish after MG Technogym (1997), Mapei-Bricobi (1998), Colombia Selle Italia (2004) and Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli in 2007.

Today’s results saw changes in two race jerseys with Carr, as the new overall leader in Green Jersey with a total time of 19:25.10s.

Astana Qazaqstan’s Vadim Pronsky, the Best Asian rider after today’s stage, is now fifth overall in the standings with a deficit of 1:15s.

Parading a team full of climbing specialists, EF Education-EasyPost lived up to their top billings with Carr, Cepeda, Odd Christian Eiking and Jardi Van der Lee taking turns in driving hard at the head of the peloton and crushing their rivals.

Today’s Genting stage was Carr’s biggest stage win this season, reinforcing his status as among EF Education’s best climbers, which he dedicated to his grandfather, who passed away on Monday.

“Coming to Malaysia for the first time for the race, I felt the pressure, which is a bit more for me here. The quality of riders is just great but I’m happy to win for the team as last year, we came close.

“Genting was really a tough climb, with three main sections along the route with the top section, the last 4km the hardest. After Cepeda had gone off to the front, I managed to make contact with him before going solo to the summit,” said Carr, who started the day on third overall with a 10s deficit behind the leader.

The team will remain focused in the next three days, to avoid any troubles on their leader and eventually wrap up their campaign on Saturday in Kuala Lumpur on a high note.

Second-placed Cepeda, meanwhile, was happy with the results, despite failing to keep his pace after going solo at the 6km mark.

“I’m happy to have helped the team with this win, we controlled the breakaway today. It was clear, Simon had better legs today, I’m happy for the team,” said Cepeda.

Tudor Cycling Team are poised for remarkable results in their first outing in Malaysia, with Simon Pellaud keeping the Red Polka Dot jersey as mountains leader.

Currently with 32 points, he is leading the mountains standings by 12 points, ahead of closest rival Carr (20 points). Pellaud also won today’s Most Combative Award for his early breakaway efforts.

Sprinter Arvid de Kleijn (30 points) remained in Orange Sprints Jersey, albeit with a slender lead of just one point over Italian Enrico Zanoncello (Green Project Bardiani, 29 points) and New Zealander George Jackson (Bolton Equities Black Spoke, 27 points).

The White Jersey changed hands with Astana’s Vadim Pronsky taking over the Best Asian leader tag, with a 2mins 15s advantage over closest rival Jambaljamts Sainbayar (Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team).

Tomorrow will be a day for sprinters as the race resumes with Stage 6 from Karak to the historical town of Melaka, a flat route over 174.5km with three intermediate sprints and two small climbs.

126.4 kilometers raced at an average speed of 37.158 km/hr

Weather at the city of Ipoh, close the the finish at 11:00 AM local time: 27C (81F), raining, with the wind from the northeast at 5 km/hr (3 mph). By 2:00 the chance of rain drops to 20%.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage four summary.

Czech rider Daniel Babor of Caja Rural-Seguros RGA timed his sprint perfectly in the last 200 metres to clinch Stage 4 of the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 at Meru Raya here, today.

Second-placed and yesterday’s Stage 3 winner George Jackson of Bolton Equities Black Spoke is now the overall race leader, taking over the Green Jersey from Italian Enrico Zanoncello of Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizane.

Zanoncello is second overall with a six-second deficit followed by the top favourite for tomorrow’s big climb in Genting, Simon Carr of EF Education-EasyPost who is 10 seconds adrift behind the leader.

The Tour which started in Kerteh, Terengganu on Saturday, has now seen four different winners from four different teams after four days of racing.

The 23-year-old rider, who is racing in his last race of the season here, had countrymate Tomas Bartab to thank for executing a great lead out which put him in a good sprinting position to the line, ahead of second-placed and yesterday’s winner yesterday’s winner George Jackson of Bolton Equities Black Spoke with a time of 3:06.05s. Belgian Sasha Weemaes of Human Power Health came in third.

Babor was elated with his win here after struggling throughout the year with just one stage win in Volta a Portugal (2.1) in August to show on his palmares this season.

“It’s my first major win in Asia and second stage win in top-level races this season. I’m not really in good shape and this is my last race of the season, so this win truly means a lot to me,” said Babor, who was fourth in Stage 4 in Kota Bharu, which was won by Astana Qazaqstan’s Gleb Syritsa.

Stage winners Arvid de Kleijn and Syritsa, the two top fast men heavily tipped to take the stage, lost out in the locked out in a hectic final sprint and had to settle for 8th and 10th placings respectively.

“I’m not actually in the best shape here, but after taking 4th place in Stage 2, I thought we could get better results but not a stage win. But today, in the last 20km, I felt good, got into the last corner first, had a good lead out and hit the line first,” said Babor, saying that he is now more confident of taking on the best in field such as Kleijn and Syritsa and deliver good sprint results for the team after today’s win.

Second-placed Jackson of Bolton Equities Black Spoke, yesterday’s Stage 3 winner, said he had a good lead out and gave his all in the last 200 metres but lost out to a better sprinter.

“I had a good lead out in the last 300 metres, came around the corner, tried hard but Babor was the fastest man today. I’m still happy with the results and we have a few more shots at stage wins after this,” said the Kiwi rider.

The day started with 121 riders signing on, with three intermediate sprints along the 140.2km flat route. A nine-men breakaway group charged strongly after the 8km mark which was later reduced to only three riders – Giulio Massoto of Corratec-Selle Italia, Muhammad Afiq Huznie of Nusantara Cycling and Nichol Pareja of 7Eleven Cliqq Air by Road Bikes Philippines. With 6km to go, the trio were subsequently reeled by the peloton.

Tudor, Astana and Green Project-Bardiani were scrambling to put their sprinters in the best position for the final sprint in the last few kilometres but in the end, Caja Rural’s Babor had the upper hand after slipping through into the last corner first.

Simon Pellaud of Tudor Pro Cycling Team Simon Pellaud kept the mountains classification’s red polka dot jersey for the second day with 20 points, ahead of Luca Covilli (Green Project-Bardiani CSF Faizane) with 12 points.

Rating his chances for tomorrow’s big climb in Genting, Pellaud said: “It’s going to be hard, but I will try to defend the polka dot jersey, especially against Luca Covilli who is 12 points behind me. My target is to be with the great climbing guys tomorrow,” said Pellaud, who picked EF Education-EasyPost top climber Simon Carr as the top favourites for tomorrow’s queen stage in Genting.

Dutch sprinter Arvid de Kleijn, who was out of position in today’s sprint, remained in KBS Orange Sprints jersey as sprints classification leader with 30 points, only a point ahead of close rival Enrico Zanoncello and George Jackson (Bolton Equities) with 27 points.

In the Asian classification, Thailand Continental Cycling Team’s Ratchanon Yaowarat is the wearer of the White jersey, after leading 4 seconds ahead of compatriot Thanakan Chaiyasombat and Muhammad Nur Aiman Rosli of the Malaysian National team.

“I’m happy to be wearing the white jersey, but on top of that I’m happy over my fifth-placings in the GC after today’s stage with 12 seconds deficit behind the leader,” said Yaorawat.

Meanwhile, Giulio Masotto of Corratec Selle Italia, who was among the nine riders in the early breakaway group, won the Most Combative Award.

After four days of racing, tomorrow’s Hors climb to the summit of Genting (1,625 metres) will be the defining moment for teams and pure climbers as they tackle the 126.4km route with the winner of the stage likely be crowned as the eventual overall leader of the 27th edition of the Tour.

The race: Here is the race organizer's stage three summary.

George Jackson of Bolton Equities Black Spoke launched a powerful sprint to win a hard-fought 183.1km Stage 3 of the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 which ended in Baling, today.

Jackson staved off a chaotic final sprint battle against Green Project-Bardiani’s Enrico Zanoncello who had to settle as the stage’s second best.

A disappointed Zanoncello, however, managed to wrest the Petronas Green Jersey from Tudor’s Arvid de Kleijn, as the overall leader after Day 3 of the race.

Today’s fourth win of the season came as a sweet one for the Kiwi who, just a week ago, clinched two stages and the overall title of the Tour of Taihu Lake (2.Pro) in China.

Led out by teammate Matthew Bostock, the Wellington-born rider slipped through from fourth into the last corner, launching his sprint at the right time to brush aside Zanoncello with slightly over a bike’s length, but it was not enough for him to take over the GC standings. Second-placed Zanoncello emerged as the new overall leader with a time of 12.55.05.

It was supposed to be a stage for the pure climbers and GC contenders to rule but in the end, it was the 23-year-old Jackson, winner of this year’s Tour of Taihu Lake, who had the last laugh at the end of the tough stage.

“I’m pretty stoked with today’s win. It was a hard race but the boys did a great job of chasing the leaders all day.

Towards the last 300 metres, Matt (Bostock) led me out, I was then fourth into the last corner, and sprinted as hard as I could to the line,’ said Jackson, adding that the team’s focus now is to look for another stage win and fight hard for the general classification.

Despite having the green jersey on his back, Zanoncello could not hide his disappointment of finishing second. “I was eyeing for a win today but in the end, George is the better rider. I’m disappointed and today’s jersey come as a consolation to me,” said Zanoncello who had stage wins in this year’s Tour of Qinghai Lake.

EF Education-Easy Post’s Simon Carr who is now third in the general classification with a four-minute deficit over the leader, will be the main man to watch when the race heads for Genting Highlands on Wednesday.

Despite losing the leader’s jersey, Tudor Pro Cycling team still had reasons to celebrate as Simon Pellaud, who was part of the nine-man early breakaway group, took over as leader of the mountains classification and new wearer of Polka Dot Jersey.

Pellaud took full points in three out of the four KOMs on offer today, including the Cat. 1 climb at Puncak Titiwangsa (1066 metres). He now has 20 points at the top with Bardiani’s Luca Covili trailing in second with 12 points.

Teammate and Stage One winner Arvid de Kleijn remains at the top of the Sprints Classification and will start tomorrow’s Stage 4 in the KBS Orange Jersey as the Best Sprinter. The Dutchman led the sprinters’ field but tied with Zanoncello with 27 points after three stages.

It was also a fruitful day for the Malaysian National Team who had Muhammad Nur Aiman Rosli to thank for delivering the White Jersey as the Best Asian Rider.

Carr, among the main riders in the group of nine in the early breakaway, currently third in the overall standings, was voted as the winner of the day’s Most Combative award.

The race started with 125 riders but ended with 121, with three riders failing to start and four dropping out on a day that saw three Giant Cycling Team riders failing to make it to the start line.

The three riders Lin Chuanyang, Wang Zichen and Huang Junlei were involved in an accident that saw their team van flipping over within the neutral zone in Jeli. The riders and driver of the van however escaped serious injuries.

Tomorrow’s Stage 4 from Bukit Mertajam to Meru Raya Ipoh over a flat route of 140.2km, presents sprinters with another chance of being on the winners’ podium with three intermediate sprints in Bagan Serai, Talang and Sungai Siput and a small Cat 3 climb in Kuala Kangsar.

Gleb Syritsa wins stage two.

Weather at the finish city of Kota Bharu at 11:20 AM, local time: 28C (83F), fair, with the wind from the west at 5 km/hr (3 mph). There is a 60% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage two summary.

Gleb Syritsa stamped his brute sprinting strength in the last 50 metres to take Stage 2 from Kuala Terengganu to Kota Bharu, his second career win in the PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi.

The 23-year-old Astana Qazaqstan Team’s top sprinter made amends for the mistakes of starting yesterday’s sprint from the far out which cost him a win, perfectly timed his sprint in today’s stage to edge out Dutch sprinter Arvid de Kleijn, to take his second career win in the Tour.

With 300 metres to go, De Kleijn was locked in a close tussle with Syritsa who stayed firm on his wheel, and came in second but remained in the PETRONAS Green Leader’s Jersey with a close 0.02s ahead of the Russian.

The Dutchman also kept the KBS Orange Sprinter’s Jersey on his back, accumulating 27 points to stay ahead of Syritsa who is now three points behind.

Italian Enrico Zanoncello (Green Project-Bardiani-CSF-Fanzaine), winner of this year’s Tour of Qinghai Lake (2.Pro), came in third.

“I’m so happy to have won and beat Arvid today. I got it all wrong yesterday, made a mistake in my sprinting tactics…but today, it was all good,” said the elated Russian sprinter, adding that it would be a tough ride in tomorrow’s Stage 3 hilly stage from Jeli to Banting. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow,” he added.

De Kleijn conceded that Syritsa was the better man today, saying that he looks forward to more sprint battles with his close rival in the coming stages.

“My team did a great job in leading me out, but with 200 metres to go, I tried hard but in the end, I felt I didn’t have it today. There’s more sprint battles in the coming days, and I’m looking forward to lock horns with Gleb again,” said de Kleijn.

Meanwhile, the TOURISM MALAYSIA Red Polka Dot jersey changed hands with Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team’s Nur Amirull Fakhrudin Mazuki taking over from teammate Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff, who is now second in the KOM standings.

Nur Amirull took full points in both KOM zones in Setiu and Pelong, amassing four points with Nur Aiman a point behind.

“The strategy today is for me to do the breakaway and stay ahead, and give Nur Aiman a rest and prepare for tomorrow’s hilly stage, which suits well for pure climbers.

It’s going to be crucial for us tomorrow and will give our best…we are hoping that our climbers like Jambaljamts Sainbayar, Nur Aiman and Jeroen Meijers stay in good shape for tomorrow,” said Nur Amirull.

The BEAUTIFUL TERENGGANU White Jersey remained with Roojai Online Insurance’s rider, Tegshbayar Batsaikhan as Asia’s Best rider, after completing the stage in seventh place.

Meanwhile, Caja-Rural Seguros rider, Calum Johnston took the BUBBLES O2 Most Combative award following his 50km solo effort after the 90km mark.

With no dropouts (128 riders) in today’s stage, tomorrow’s 183.1km hilly battle from Jeli to Baling is expected to be crucial, especially for the general classification contenders.

A Category 1 climb at Puncak Titiwangsa (1066m), followed by two Category 2 and one Cat 1 climbs await teams and riders who will need to be in their best shape, physically, mentally and tactically.

Saturday, September 23: Stage 1, Kerteh - Kuala Terengganu, 187.4 km

Arvid de Kleijn wins stage one.

Weather at the finish city of Kuala Terengganu at 11:40 AM, local time: 30C (86F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the north at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 16% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage one summary.

Arvid de Kleijn of Tudor Pro Cycling Team charged strongly ahead of the other frontrunners in a close bunch sprint to take the opening stage of the Tour de Langkawi 2023 from Kerteh to Kuala Terengganu.

It was indeed a sweet victory for the 29-year-old Dutchman, fondly known as “Little Gorilla”, who is making his maiden appearance with the Swiss-based team in the 27th edition of Asia’s ProSeries race.

Today’s stage win saw De Kleijn emerging as overall race leader which earned him the PETRONAS Green Jersey as well as the KBS Orange Jersey as leader in sprints classification.

Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team got off to a promising start with climber and two-time KOM jersey winner, Muhammad Nur Aiman Zariff taking the TOURISM MALAYSIA Polka Dot Jersey as leader of the mountains classification.

Nur Aiman collected full points after winning the first KOM ahead of Thailand’s Sarawut Sirironnachai of Thailand Continental Cycling Team in the first KOM at Jerangau (74km) but took the second spot in the Cat. 4 second climb at Sekayu.

For de Kleijn, today’s stage win was his fifth of the season in five different races, and in five different months. Before coming to Malaysia, the Dutchman won stages in Milano Torino (1.Pro), Deutschland Tour (2.Pro), Boucles de la Mayenne (2.Pro), and ZLM Tour (2.Pro).

Russian sprinter Gleb Syritsa of Astana Qazaqstan came close to repeating his Stage 1 victory last year but in the end, settled for third, behind Human Powered Health’s Sasha Weemaes.

“Scrambling towards the finishing line, at one point, I thought I’d lose out to (Gleb) Syritsa due to his superior sprinting power. But being small, I managed to slip through, and I know I had a lot of speed with me…I’m happy to beat him,” said de Kleijn.

On his thoughts of winning more stages in the race, De Kleijn said: “Winning the two jerseys today, the Petronas Green and KBS Orange jerseys was simply great. But it would be even nicer if I can keep the Green jersey right up after Stage 8.”

For Muhammad Nur Aiman, being in the Tourism Malaysia Polka Dot jersey after the opening day was indeed a good start as he set his eyes on winning the LTdL KOM jersey for the third successive time.

“Yes, that is my aim, I’ll do my best to achieve the target. I’m in good shape and will give my all to win the KOM jersey for the third time in a row,” he said.

He reckons that Stage 3 hilly route from Jeli to Baling on Monday would be crucial if he harbours hopes of keeping the KOM jersey. “I’m keeping my eyes and focus on Stage 3, which will be hard but crucial for me and the team,” said Nur Aiman.

Meanwhile, Mongolian Tegshbayar Batsaikhan of Roojai Online Insurance took the BEAUTIFUL TERENGGANU White Jersey after emerging as the best Asian rider. The Mongolian was also picked as the BUBBLES 02 Most Combative Rider of the day.

A total of 128 riders with 34 different nationalities from 22 teams lined up at the start point in front of Mesra Mall in Kerteh, which is hosting the race for only the second time.

Tomorrow’s Stage 2 from Kuala Terengganu to Kota Bharu will see riders starting from Terengganu’s iconic Drawbridge for another day of hard riding on a relatively flat stage, with only three intermediate sprints and two Category 4 climbs. Expect another aggressive race and another fast bunch sprint finish in Kota Bharu tomorrow.

Le Tour de Langkawi 2023: Teams in Flux as Excitement Builds

• SportsWorldMalaysia
• September 5, 2023

KUALA LUMPUR, September 1 – As the highly anticipated Le Tour de Langkawi 2023, scheduled for September 23-30, draws nearer, several teams are making last-minute changes to their riders’ lists. This phenomenon is nothing new for the event organizers, who remain unperturbed.

Emir Abdul Jalal, Chief Operating Officer of LTdL 2023, explained that such roster fluctuations are customary in the world of professional cycling. Teams are allowed to finalize their rider rosters either during the team managers’ meeting, typically held the day before the race commences, or up to 72 hours before their flight tickets are booked.

Despite initially submitting their lists of riders, reserve riders, managers, mechanics, and medical officers, Emir revealed that several teams had already made several modifications, particularly concerning the selection of the six riders who will represent their team in the race.

This trend of constant adjustments is expected to persist over the next two to three weeks, sparking debates about which team and riders will dominate the four-jersey competition at the 27th edition of LTdL 2023.

Emir shed light on this practice, stating, “This is common practice, especially among the big teams in the WorldTeam and ProTeam categories. They assess the strengths of their riders, study the race profile, and compare them with competitors. Additionally, they must align with their team’s objectives, whether targeting individual or team jerseys, excelling in sprints or conquering climbs, and even selecting a competent Under-23 rider for the young rider competition.”

Teams are allowed to finalize their rider rosters either during the team managers’ meeting, typically held the day before the race commences, or up to 72 hours before their flight tickets are booked.

“All these factors play a pivotal role in every top team’s decision-making process when finalizing their roster,” Emir emphasized. “This is the current situation faced by LTdL 2023, but we consider it normal, as we have encountered it several times before. It’s worth noting that last-minute changes like these are also encountered by other major race organizers worldwide,” he affirmed in a recent media statement.

Emir went on to reveal that teams like Astana Qazaqstan, EF Education-EasyPost, Team Corratec-Selle Italia, Tudor Pro Cycling Team, and Euskaltel-Euskadi have already made adjustments to their preferred rider lists, giving insight into their specific goals for this year’s LTdL.

“For instance,” Emir noted, “Astana has added two expert sprinters, while EF Education and Euskaltel are focusing on climbers.”

The list of 22 participating teams has been finalized, with Bolton Equities Black Spoke Team (ProTeam) from New Zealand and Thailand Continental Cycling Team (Continental) recently confirming their participation. Consequently, the organizers, the National Sports Council (MSN), are in the final stages of preparation to welcome the teams to Kuala Terengganu. The team introduction ceremony is scheduled to take place a day before Stage 1, from Kerteh to Kuala Terengganu.

So, why it is fun to cycle in Malaysia?

Three ProTeam teams, including Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizane, Team Corratec, Bolton Equities, and KSPO Professional from South Korea, have decided to arrive five days ahead of schedule. They are willing to cover their own expenses to adapt to the local weather conditions.

Adding to the intrigue, some ProTeam outfits are using one-day races in Europe and the United States as warm-up events. Meanwhile, Continental teams are currently participating in races in Turkey and Iran, with the Tour of Taihu Lake in China scheduled for September 14-17 to further prepare their riders.

The eight-day LTdL 2023 race, covering 11 of the 12 states in the Peninsula and spanning a total distance of 1,277.1 kilometers, is organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports through MSN in collaboration with the National Cycling Federation of Malaysia (PKBM). It holds the status of a ProSeries event, promising a thrilling spectacle for cycling enthusiasts worldwide.

PETRONAS was announced on Friday as the title sponsor for the 27th edition of Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 (LTdL), where they will now have the leading rider in the General Classification in Green Jersey for the ProSeries tour that will start on Sept. 23-30.

Minister of Youth and Sports YB Hannah Yeoh said at the ceremony to unveil the sponsorship that the presence of the petroleum giant was a welcome addition to the LTdL family given the constant challenges of organizing the annual cycling race.

“KBS is proud of this partnership and would like to extend a million thanks to PETRONAS for being the main sponsor of LTdL 2023.

“And what has made this partnership even better is that PETRONAS has also agreed to be the Title Sponsor for three consecutive years – 2023, 2024, and 2025,” said Hannah.

A total of 22 teams consisting of two (2) World Teams, eight (8) ProTeams, 10 UCI Continental teams, and 2 Continental teams including the  7-Eleven-Cliqq-Air 21 team from the Philippines, will participate.

Also present at the ceremony were PETRONAS Group Senior General Manager of Strategic Communications, Datin Anita Azrina Abd Aziz; Chief Secretary of KBS, Dr Nagulendran Kangayatkarasu; Director General of the National Sports Council (MSN), Dato’ Ahmad Shapawi Ismail; Datuk Abu Sabah Abdul Wahab, President of the National Cycling Federation of Malaysia (PKBM) and Vice President 1 of PKBM, Dato’ Amarjit Singh.

Hannah explained that the amount allocated to KBS to organize the race at the initial stage was only RM8 million and as an organizer, MSN needed a much bigger budget of around at least RM15 to make the ProSeries tour event with a ‘world class’ standard a success.

She said that the situation faced by MSN was a huge challenge in these four months as they had to ensure that the organization of the race remained at the highest level while at the same time looking for ways to garner more sponsorships.

Hannah also praised MSN for providing the right sponsorship package to the management of PETRONAS, enough for them to agree to come on board as the Title Sponsor in a bid to make the LTdL 2023 a resounding success.

“I am sure that the MSN team led by Dato’ Ahmad Shapawi will put in place the best strategy in ensuring that all the sponsorship packages will be fulfilled and implemented,” he said.

As the Title Sponsor, PETRONAS has also been given ‘naming rights’ to the event with the official logo now changed to PETRONAS LE TOUR DE LANGKAWI 2023, which carries the PETRONAS logo on all LTdL event branding.

PETRONAS has also been given the right to the overall leader’s jersey – which is now in PETRONAS green synonymous with the corporate color of the petroleum giant.

“Yellow has been in use for the overall leader‘s jersey for the past 26 years, so we are changing it for the first time to the PETRONAS green. This is a shift in ensuring that LTdL has a unique color for its leader like the yellow ‘Mailot Jeune jersey for the Tour de France and the pink “Maglia Rosa” jersey for the Giro d’Italia.

“I’m sure this decision will give considerable added value to the PETRONAS sponsorship,” she added.

KBS is confident that through ‘live’ broadcast via sports broadcaster Eurosport and hundreds of millions of viewers on local and foreign television, and social media platforms Youtube and TikTok, this will give multiple returns on the amount of sponsorship that has been extended.

Additionally, promotional programs such as the Cavalcade parade and side events will also ensure that the PETRONAS brand and products remain close to the Malaysian populace.

“As an organizer, KBS is also proud at being able to be a partner and ‘have a relationship’ with a world brand name like PETRONAS that has great popularity and credibility, especially in motorsports through their sponsorships of Formula 1 and MotoGP,” added Hannah.

LTdL 2023 is organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) through MSN in collaboration with the National Cycling Federation of Malaysia (PKBM) is a ProSeries race that starts in Kerteh, this September 23 and will go through 11 of the 12 states in the Peninsula, to end in front of the Twin Towers PETRONAS (KLCC) on September 30, involving a race distance of 1,277.1km.

Real History Online

Battle of Moscow 1941- Defensive Battles

Battle for Moscow , September 30, 1941 – April 20, 1942) – military operations of Soviet and German troops in the Moscow direction. It is divided into 2 periods: defensive (September 30 – December 4, 1941) and offensive, which consists of two stages: the counteroffensive (December 5, 1941 – January 7, 1942) and the Soviet offensive (January 7 – March 30, 1942). In Western historiography, the battle is known as Operation Typhoon .

The battle unfolded in an area whose borders in the north ran along the Volga River from Kalyazin to Rzhev, in the west – along the rockad railway line Rzhev  – Vyazma  – Bryansk, in the south – along the conditional line Ryazhsk  – Gorbachevo  – Dyatkovo.

At the defensive stage of the battle, the following operations were carried out: Oryol-Bryansk, Vyazemskaya, Mozhaisk-Maloyaroslavetskaya, Kalinin, Tula, Klinsko-Solnechnogorsk and Naro-Fominsk front – line operations.

On December 5, 1941, the Red Army launched a counteroffensive along the entire front near Moscow, carrying out a number of successful front-line offensive operations and threw the Germans back 150-300 kilometers from the capital.

The battle for Moscow is one of the turning points in the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War.

Only the Battle of Smolensk in July-September 1941 delayed the advance of the invaders to Moscow for two months. German strategists were unable to fully foresee all the costs associated with a significant expansion of the front, wear and tear of the material part of strike groups and a drop in the offensive spirit of soldiers and officers in the event of unforeseen stubborn resistance from the enemy.

By the beginning of September 1941, the Moscow direction remained the objective for the German High Command. In a telegram from the OKH of July 31, 1941, Army Group Center was ordered to continue to “prepare for an attack on Moscow”.

On September 6, 1941, the OKW directive number 35 was brought to the German units: the command planned to conduct two major operations in the near future. The first – to defeat the South-Western Front of the Red Army by the forces of Army Groups “Center” and “South”, and the second – a decisive offensive by troops on Moscow, but after removing the threat to the southern flank of GA “Center”. From the moment this directive was issued, the direct preparation of the operation to seize the Soviet capital began.

In the preamble, Hitler explained the reasons for his decision:

Initial successes against enemy forces located between the inner flanks of Army Groups “Center” and “North”, from the point of view of encirclement of Leningrad, creates the preconditions for decisive operations against the leading offensive of Army Group Timoshenko. It must be destroyed before winter comes. To do this, it is necessary to bring up and concentrate all the forces of the aviation and ground army, which can be dispensed with on the flanks.

– Reproduced according to the text of the article: M. Yu. Myagkov “Battle of Moscow”, 2010

The general plan of the offensive in September was finalized and formalized in the form of orders, in which the tasks of each military formation were detailed. On September 19, the operation was codenamed Typhoon. The idea was quite simple and classic for the German strategy: with powerful blows from large groups concentrated in the regions of Dukhovshchina (3rd Panzer Group), Roslavl (4th Panzer Group) and Shostka (2nd Panzer Group), encircle the main forces of the Red Army, covering the capital, and destroy them in the regions of Bryansk and Vyazma. and then swiftly bypass Moscow from the north and south in order to capture it.

The attack on Moscow was preceded by detailed aerial reconnaissance of both the city itself and the surrounding area. Reconnaissance flights were carried out by the 1st long-range reconnaissance squadron of the Reconnaissance Air Group under the commander- in -chief of the Luftwaffe (the so-called “Rovel Group”) – 1. (F) /Ob.dL.

The first massive German raid on Moscow was undertaken on the night of July 22, 1941. The first raid was followed by two, almost as powerful. Then the total number of bombers taking part in the attacks on the city was reduced. The peak of the raids on Moscow fell in November 1941 – 45 air raids per month. But the bombing did not cause significant damage to the city. In July 1941 – January 1942, only 229 of the 7146 enemy aircraft broke through to the capital.

On September 26, Fyodor von Bock signed order No. 1620/41 on the attack of the Center GA on Moscow. Neighboring army groups ” North ” and ” South ” were supposed to cover the main attacks in the Moscow direction, advancing in an easterly direction. The 2nd Air Fleet of Albert Kesselring was tasked with destroying Soviet aviation in front of the front of the advancing troops and supporting the offensive with all available forces, in connection with which the massive bombing of industrial enterprises was postponed.

Start of Operation Typhoon

German strike forces occupied the initial areas one or two days before the start of Operation Typhoon. On September 30, the 2nd Panzer Group of General Heinz Guderian went on the offensive from the Shostka area. and in the early morning of October 2, the 9th and 4th field armies.

The 3rd and 4th tank groups attacked the positions of the Red Army in the southwestern Moscow direction and simultaneously in several sectors of the front. Adolf Hitler. confident in the quick and inevitable capture of the Soviet capital, in an order to the soldiers and officers of the Eastern Front on October 2, 1941, said:

In a few weeks, the three most important industrial regions will be completely in our hands… The preconditions have finally been created for the last huge blow, which, even before the onset of winter, should lead to the destruction of the enemy. Today begins the last big, decisive battle of this year!

– Cited according to the text of an article in the newspaper ” Pravda ” dated 01.22.1942 .

The Moscow strategic defensive operation began, which lasted 67 days, from September 30 to December 5, 1941.

By the end of October 2, units of the 3rd Panzer Group of General Hoth had broken through the front at the junction of the 19th and 30th Soviet armies, and the 4th Panzer Group of General Göpner  – in the defense zone of the 43rd Army south of Varshavskoe Highway.

All the efforts and attention of the Soviet High Command at that moment were concentrated on the Oryol direction and in the Kharkov area  – the German 2nd Panzer Group Guderian in two days deepened 120 kilometers into the Bryansk Front’s defense zone.

Battle of Moscow

Three rifle divisions and two tank brigades of the 43rd Army of the Reserve Front could not withstand the massive attack of twelve divisions of the 4th Panzer Group. On the same day, Göpner’s forward formations struck at the second echelon of the front, 40 km from the front edge of the defense, which was occupied by the divisions of the people’s militia. Having scattered the troops of the Bryansk and Reserve fronts, the tank and motorized divisions rushed north along the Warsaw highway.

The advanced units of Guderian’s 2nd Panzer Group captured Oryol on October 3 and developed an offensive on Mtsensk and Tula.

A gap formed between the 30th and 19th armies of the Western Front. 30-40 km wide. Motorized formations of the Wehrmacht and SS. broke through to Vyazma. By the end of October 4, the divisions of Gotha and Göpner were already 60 – 70 km from the city.

On October 3-4, in the zone of the 24th and 43rd armies of the Reserve Front, units of the 4th German tank group rushed in the direction east of Vyazma, to the rear of the troops of the Western Front.

On the morning of October 5, the enemy captured Yukhnov on the move (approximately 195 kilometers south-west of Moscow). The Headquarters learned about the capture of the city only in the afternoon. The head of the PDS of the Air Force Directorate of the Western Front, Captain I.G. Starchak. who commanded an airborne detachment of several hundred people, on his own initiative took up defensive positions on the Ugra River beyond Yukhnov. By blowing up the bridge, the paratroopers were able to hold back the advance of the 57th Motorized Corps of the Wehrmacht for one day. Soon, an advanced detachment. formed from cadets of the PPU and PAU, arrived to the aid of the paratroopers.with artillery, which moved on 24 vehicles to Yukhnov from Podolsk  in the evening of the same day, the 17th tank brigade from the Stavka reserve and the 95th separate motorized rifle battalion of Captain NK Maslennikov. Soon it was possible to reinforce the detachment with fighters from the Medyn Fighter Detachment and the 108th Reserve Rifle Regiment of the Moscow Military District.

The operational situation on the distant approaches to Moscow changed very quickly and not in favor of the Red Army. Headquarters were confident that the front line was 280-350 kilometers from Moscow, because on the morning of October 4, the city of Spas-Demensk was still occupied by our troops. All fortified areas that were part of the Mozhaisk line of defense were not yet provided with troops at that time. The positions were occupied by hastily deployed, small units.

On September 30, 1941, from the Shostka area. in the direction of Orel  – Tula. the 2nd tank group of the Wehrmacht went on the offensive. and on October 2, the 9th and 4th field armies, the 3rd and 4th tank groups attacked the positions of the Soviet troops in the Moscow direction in several sectors of the front and rapidly developed an offensive on Maloyaroslavets. Vyazma. Gzhatsk and Kaluga. OKH embarked on his main plan in 1941 – “Operation Typhoon “.

Heinz Guderian, commander of the 2nd Panzer Group, decided to advance two days earlier than everyone else. This made it possible for him to use large air forces in the offensive. which had not yet been involved in other sectors of the front in the operations of the army group “Center” and good weather, which was established at the end of September 1941 in the offensive zone of the 2nd Panzer Group.

On September 30, when the German offensive had already begun, A. I. Eremenko, at that time the commander of the Bryansk Front. scheduled for October 3 a counterattack on the flanks of the “tank wedge driven into the front’s defenses” by the forces of the 13th Army and the group of General Ermakov. The forces of the 2nd Panzer Group that had gone over to the offensive were assessed by the front command as an attack by several divisions in the direction of Sevsk.

In addition, the direction of the enemy’s main attack was determined incorrectly: Eremenko was expecting an attack on Bryansk and kept his main reserves in the city area. On September 30, not several divisions, but three motorized corps went on the offensive. Against Ermakov’s group the enemy concentrated two or three times more forces. The divisions assigned for the counterattack could only inflict weak “pin pricks” on the flanks of the 2nd Panzer Group.

From the direction of Sevsk, the well-equipped 42nd Tank Brigade  Major General NI Voeikov was to strike. But two days later, units of the 24th Motorized Corps captured Oryol. When the advanced units of the German 4th Panzer Division burst into the city, trams still ran through the streets, and boxes with industrial equipment intended for evacuation were scattered everywhere.

By the end of October 5, the Bryansk Front was ordered to withdraw its troops to the second line of defense on the lines along the Desna River and hold Bryansk. On October 6, the 17th Panzer Division reached the city from the rear and captured it. Karachev was captured by the 18th Panzer Division on the morning of the same day. AI Eremenko was forced to order the armies to break through to the east “with an inverted front”.

The 3rd. 13th and 50th Soviet armies were encircled near Bryansk : 27 divisions, 2 tank brigades, 19 artillery regiments of the RGK, directorates of the 50th, 3rd and 13th armies of the Bryansk front. The commander of the 50th Army, Major General M.P. Petrov, was killed. On October 13, during a raid by German aviation, Eremenko himself was wounded and at night by plane was flown to Moscow, and his duties began to be performed by the chief of staff of the front, General GF Zakharov. At the same time. the 1st Guards Rifle Corps and the Moscow people’s militia divisions directed at Mtsensk, were able to hold back the enemy’s advance for several days, without giving him the opportunity to seize Tula on the move.

As well as at Bryansk, the command was unable to determine the direction of the enemy’s main attack. It was assumed that the tank and motorized groupings of the Germans would deliver the main blow along the axis of the Minsk highway. in the defense zone of the 16th Army of K. K. Rokossovsky. A strong echeloned defense was created here. For example, the 112th Infantry Division defended a front of 8 kilometers with a number of 10 thousand people, the neighboring 38th Infantry Division occupied a front of 4 kilometers, with the same number and high density of guns and mortars.

The Germans delivered their main blow north of the Minsk highway  – as usual, at the junction between the sectors of the 30th and 19th armies. Here, against two Soviet rifle divisions, four corps went on the offensive – the 41st and 56th motorized (each of which was assigned one infantry division over the state) of the 3rd Panzer Group of G. Gotha. as well as the 5th and 6th army corps. The 8th Army Corps was advancing to the south. In total, the strike group consisted of about 16.5 divisions, including three tank (more than 420 tanks) and two motorized ones. A few hours later, the defense zone of the 30th Army was broken through and the enemy began to develop an offensive in depth and towards the right flank of the 19th Army.

For a flank counterattack on the advancing group, the front group of IV Boldin was created. However, as a result of a tank battle in the area south of Kholm-Zhirkovsky, Soviet troops were defeated. On October 7, the German 7th Panzer Division of the 3rd Panzer Group and the 10th Panzer Division of the 4th Panzer Group closed the circle of encirclement of the troops of the Western and Reserve fronts in the Vyazma region. Four armies of the Red Army (19th. 20th. 24th and 32nd) fell into the encirclement.

On October 9, the forward detachment of the motorized SS division “Reich”. consisting of 10 tanks with motorized infantry (according to German data), captured Gzhatsk. Thus, an outer ring was formed around the Soviet armies surrounded at Vyazma. The Minsk highway and the Vyazma-Syzran and Moscow-Smolensk railways were cut.

By the end of October 7, the defenses on the distant approaches to Moscow had actually collapsed. 37 divisions, 9 tank brigades, 31 artillery regiment of the RGK and the command and control of the 19th, 20th, 24th and 32nd armies of the Western and Reserve fronts were in the “cauldrons” or semi-encirclement in the western direction. And near Bryansk. 27 divisions, 2 tank brigades, 19 artillery regiments of the RGK and the command and control of the 50th, 3rd and 13th armies of the Bryansk front were in complete encirclement. Seven directorates of the armies (out of 15 in the direction), 64 divisions (out of 95), 11 tank brigades (out of 13) and 50 artillery regiments of the RGK (out of 64) were surrounded. These formations and units were part of 13 armies and one operational group. Nevertheless, later the remnants of 16 divisions of the Red Army managed to fight their way to their own from the encirclement.

Until October 11, the encircled troops made attempts to break through, only on October 12 it was possible to break through for a short time, which was soon closed again.

In total, at Vyazma and Bryansk, more than 688 thousand Soviet soldiers and officers were taken prisoner, only about 85 thousand managed to get out of the encirclement. The commander of the 19th Army, Lieutenant General M.F. Lukin, and the former commander of the 32nd Army, Major General S.V. Vishnevsky. who were sent to help him. were captured in the Vyazma “cauldron”; the commander of the 24th Army, Major General. was killed K. I. Rakutin. In total, in the first two to three weeks of fighting near Moscow, the Red Army lost up to 1 million people, of which (according to German sources) about 688 thousand people were captured.

Courageous, but not always skillful resistance of the soldiers of the Red Army could not stop the German tank formations. Many divisions of the Reserve and Western Fronts were recruited from militias who fought heroically, but did not have the necessary experience and training. The Germans made the most of their advantage in firepower and mobility. Field commanders of the Wehrmacht received radio intercepts of communications between Soviet headquarters and used radio deception.

Aviation actions

Numerical superiority and a favorable airfield base created good conditions for the fascist German troops to maintain air supremacy. From the second half of September, the Luftwaffe sharply increased the bombardment of railway junctions, stations, bridges, troops and airfields.

The intensity of German aerial reconnaissance increased. which sought to reveal the grouping of our troops, to determine the nature of the defense, to reveal the condition of the roads and to establish the basing areas of aviation.

Before the start of the offensive, the Germans did not manage to open the group of Soviet aviation and undermine its potential with air strikes. This was helped by the good camouflage of our airfields, the dispersal of aircraft on them and the high activity of Soviet fighter aircraft. At the same time, German aviation, even in the process of concentrating on the main airfields, was subjected to attacks by Soviet aviation and suffered significant losses.

In the 20th of September 1941, Soviet air reconnaissance established the basing of German aviation at the airfields of Smolensk, Shatalov, Borovskaya, Orsha, Vitebsk, Kamenka, Zubovo. The Air Force of the Western Front intensified its bombing strikes on enemy troops and airfields. The Military Council of the Western Front decided to intensify aviation operations to disrupt the prepared German offensive.

To strike at a large enemy grouping, preparing for an offensive, in addition to the existing 206 serviceable aircraft, the Headquarters of the Supreme Command allocated an additional 400 aircraft for several days. The task was to bomb and destroy concentrated groupings of German troops by attack aircraft.

To defeat the strike group of the Germans, aviation from other fronts was involved. Long-range bomber aviation of the Main Command and Air Force of the Moscow Military District. At the same time, front aviation was actively operating at enemy airfields, bases and communications. During September, she made 4101 sorties and dropped 831 tons of bombs on enemy targets.

In the last days of September, the Germans intensified their aerial reconnaissance, and massive strikes against the most important defense enterprises and facilities in the nearest front-line rear became more frequent. In August, in the zone of the Moscow Corps Air Defense District. 1998 aircraft overflights of fascist aviation were recorded. Several groups of enemy bombers carried out raids on large defense facilities on the near approaches to Moscow. All this indicated that the fascist German command was preparing for an offensive on the capital.

Moscow Travel Meeting - Saturday, 17 September @ 10:30 a.m.

It's time to meet again to dream and talk about travel! The Moscow (Idaho, USA!) Travel Group meets the 3rd Saturday of each month and will be meeting Saturday, 17 September, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at One World Café, 533 South Main Street in Moscow. If you are dreaming about a trip or planning a trip or would like to give a trip report, please join us because we love to share travel tips, give trip reports and talk about travel in general. We'd love to have you join us. I already know that one traveler who's just finishing up the Rick Steves Germany, Austria & Switzerland tour won't be there but will give her trip report at the October meeting. Doug and I will be there and who else? It's count down time for me! Anyone else like to talk about travel?

I bet there's someone out there who likes to talk about travel!

Well you KNOW I like to talk travel! Yes a good time was had by all! On to London today and wasting some time in the Vienna airport. (I didnt realize the security for at least some if not all International departures is at the gate so I got myself slightly too far thru passport control before I realized that. There do not seem to be any seats!!)

See you guys in October!

We'll forgive you, Pam for having a great time on the GAS tour and now on your time in England but you better be here for the October meeting! Oh! I won't be there at the October meeting because I'll be at our grandson's baby shower. Pam, can you send the meeting notice email and post on the Forum for the October meeting, please?

I'd be happy to but you know I am in travel brain mode right now ( uh, lets see, British Museum by 10 for the special exhibit I've got tickets for, then lunch, then the main museum, then a London Walks but only if it is Tom...) so I'll need an in person reminder over lunch after YOU get back!!

Pam, lunch sounds wonderful but I won't be available till after the Travel Meeting! I will be able to text or email you to remind you though. (I'll actually be in Seattle for several days, visiting with our daughters and getting over jet lag.)

This is going to be a really tiny meeting of well-seasoned travelers! Don't forget you can also browse the farmers' market before or after the travel meeting.

Anyone else coming or should I just stay home and pack?

Is it just the Lewiston and Genesee contingent?

Yes, just the Lewiston and Genesee contingent. Maybe we'll show and wait around for a bit then go out to lunch! I'll ask them what they'd like to do. I'd love to just meet up with them for lunch but OTOH, Doug and I could spend time re-texturing and painting! Whoohoo! fun times ahead!

Yay! Just heard from another Lewiston couple who have been on our list for years but this will be their first travel group meeting. I think I'll bring a couple of items for show & tell, like our RS convertible backpack and my RS rolling bag.

I saw that email and was glad they are coming!

Retexturing sounds pretty darn horrible. Whereas coffee, friends, travel chat and the Farmers Market sound great!
