Blikra won the sixth stage of the Tour of Langkawi in a sprint and Sosa continued to lead

Date:

the norwegian Erlend Blikra (Uno-X Pro Cycling) won this Sunday at Tour of Langkawi stage 6 sprint (Indonesia), contested on a flat course of 120.4 km, and the Colombian Ivan Ramiro Sosa (Movistar) remains at the head of the general classification with two days to go.

Blykra defeated the Russian Gleb Syritsa (Astana), the German Rüdiger Selig (Lotto Soudal) and the Colombian Juan Sebastián Molano (UAE Emirates), while the Spaniard Manuel Peñalver (Burgos BH) was in seventh place.

The breakaway of the day, made up of six riders, finished nine kilometers from the finish, a victim of the pace set by the Astana team at the front of the peloton in search of a third victory for Syritsa.

The journey between George Town and Alor Setar, without a single mountainous difficulty, saw no change in the top positions in the standings. Sosa maintained his 23-second lead over British Hugh Carthy (EF Education-EasyPost) and 2:02 minutes over another Colombian from Spanish Movistar, Einer Rubio.

This Monday, the seventh and penultimate stage, which is only 90.8 km, will lead the runners from Kuah to Gunung Raya on a route that ends at a first class port, Gunung Raya, with 13 km of ascent and an average with a slope of 6 percent.
