UPDATE: Molano relegated from Tour de Langkawi after "shove", Wiggins wins stage 2 sprint
CyclingWednesday, 12 October 2022 at 15:25
Team UAE Emirates rider Juan Sebastián Molano has won the second stage of the Tour de Langkawi. He was the fastest in the final sprint and took the stage victory. Its is his third victory of the season.
The breakaway included Jambaljamts Sainbayar and Nur Aiman Zariff (Terengganu Polygon), Didier Munayeza (Pro Touch), Andy Royan (Mula), Ratchanon Yaowarat (Thailand CT), Nik Zulkifli (Malaysia) and Marco Lumanog (Philippines). The group worked together and increased the lead to over 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
The breakaway was caught in the fial 10 kilometers. It was a chaotic sprint and Juan Sebastián Molano was the best and crossed the finish line first to take the stage victory. Craig Wiggins finished second while previous stage winner Gleb Syritsa took bronze.
However, after the stage the commissaires have studied the available footage and have seen Molano shove a rider inside the final kilometers - in similarity to behaviour shown earlier in the year. The UAE Team Emirates rider has been relegated and removed of his triumph, with Wiggins being awarded with the win.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
