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.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
