Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Lionel Taminiaux won the fifth stage of the Tour de Langkawi after a long day in the breakaway. He beat his breakaway companion and EF Education–EasyPost rider Julius van den Berg to take his second victory of the season.
Taminiaux was part of the breakaway group while his teammates were left to chase in the peloton. With no support, he decided to try his luck, "I was able to gamble in the final. Mareczko was still in the chasing peloton, so I was able to save some energy along the way. When Van den Berg attacked, I saw that Moscon and Gibbons couldn't close it, so I made the jump myself," said Taminiaux.
It was only Julius van den Berg who was left with him in the final kilometre. When Van de Berg started the sprint, Taminiaux counterattacked. "I was confident in my sprint. Van den Berg set up the sprint quite early, as a rider almost came close. In the last 50 meters, I could still pass him," said Taminiaux.
It is his second victory of the season and the 33rd victory for Alpecin-Deceuninck. "I asked the team management myself to ride here. After all, I felt good when I came out of the Vuelta. It turns out well," concluded Taminiaux. He holds the 72nd position in the GC, 34 minutes behind overall leader Ivan Sosa.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
