Tour de Langkawi: Simon Carr wins queen stage, moves into race lead

EF Education-EasyPost secured 1-2 finish with Carr and Cepeda on stage 5

Simon Carr (EF Education-EasyPost) won the queen stage 5 at the Tour de Langkawi after dropping teammate Jefferson Alexander Cepeda 4km from the line in Genting Highlands following a complete domination of the final climb by the American team. 

Carr and Cepeda finished 1-2 on the stage and moved into the top two spots on GC, with the Brit taking a 49-second lead over his Ecuadorian teammate going into the final three stages. 

This is Carr’s third win of the season, but clearly a much more important one as the 25-year-old Brit dedicated the victory to his late grandfather after the stage.

“For me, it means a lot, not just because of this race but also actually I was really, really motivated to win today,” said Carr. “My grandfather passed away just last Monday and he was a big fan so I really wanted to win this for him.”

Carr praised his teammates after they ensured the break didn’t get away and set a brutal enough pace on the final climb to shred the entire group, highlighting their prominence as the strongest climbing team at the race.

“It was an amazing job by the whole team, taking it on. I’m just really, really happy to finish it off,” said Carr. “It was already pretty hard. We set a hard pace from the start of the climb. 

“With Tom [Scully] already chasing the break and Michael [Valgren] and Odd [Christian Eiking] and then Jardi [Christiaan van der Lee], our stagiere, they did a really good job."

Cepeda had attacked first, making Carr's acceleration to chase his teammate curious, but the Brit explained the move and clearly didn't want to waste strong legs.

“When Alexander [Cepeda] went it was really the right time. I could immediately tell no one else had anything left so I came across [to Alexander] but I think we played it really, really well.”

Cycling Langkawi

Bicycle Rentals Langkawi

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or simply looking for a form of transport, cycling Langkawi, with its stunning scenery, perfectly lends itself to exploring on two wheels. Bicycle hire is available for those who prefer to create their itinerary and pedal through paradise at their own pace. Most hotels rent out bicycles, or otherwise, areas like Kuah and Pantai Cenang will have Bicycle hire companies such as JMB Cycle.

Langkawi Cycling Tours

Alternatively, several companies in Langkawi offer bicycle tours. These tours generally last for approximately half a day and are a fantastic way to explore the main island and meet like-minded travellers. An experienced local guide will also provide a fascinating insight into the regions you venture through. Tours are generally focused on exploring leisurely rather than racing, so they are suitable for cyclists of various levels. However, Cycling Langkawi’s terrain varies from flat to somewhat difficult, and you will cover plenty of ground in just a few hours.

Different tours will take you to different places, so choose carefully. Some focus on visiting the tourist hotspots, from the most popular and lively areas to the most celebrated tourist attractions. Meanwhile, others focus on the remarkable scenery and smaller, more remote locations, which tourists visit less. Glide past lush rainforests, expansive paddy fields, and glittering rivers, and stop at small villages and local markets.
