Gleb Syritsa on important week for Astana in Malaysia: "I am really happy I delivered these two victories to my team"

Astana Qazaqstan Team ends this edition of Le Tour de Langkawi with a victory: Gleb Syritsa won the bunch sprint on the streets of Kuala Lumpur at the final stage of the race. It was a very close sprint and only a photo finish could answer to the question who won the stage: Gleb Syritsa outsprinted Daniel Babor by the width of a tire.
"It was a very intense day, and in a moment, accidentally, I found myself in a breakaway group," Syritsa says about wild start to the last stage. "It didn’t look like a successful move, so after some time the peloton caught us back while four riders decided to continue. Well, with some 30km to go those four riders still had a good gap of two minutes and a half and it was a bit tricky moment."
"However, our team did a phenomenal job, chasing the break. All guys were just super today, and everyone gave his best to bring the escapers back. Once the break has been caught with around 4km to go it was up to me to try to do something in the sprint. I was able to find a good position to launch my sprint and it worked perfectly. Indeed, it was a close call, but I am happy it was me who won. In general, we spent a nice week here at Le Tour de Langkawi and I am really happy I delivered these two victories to my team," the 23-year-old sprinter concludes.
On top of Syritsa's sprint success, two Astana Qazaqstan Team riders finished in the Top-10 of the final General Classification of the race: Vadim Pronskiy did 5th, also becoming the best Asian rider, while development team rider Harold Martin Lopez finished 10th. This is his second Top-10 in the overall after 9th place at the Vuelta a Burgos earlier in August.

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
