Gleb Syritsa sped to yet more success at the Le Tour de Langkawi on Sunday, clinching the fourth stage win of his career in his talisman race in a bunch sprint.
The Astana Qazaqstan fastman outpowered Casper van Uden (DSM-firmenish-postNL) and Lorenzo Conforti (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizané) at the end of a short stage starting and finishing in the city of Kuah.
Despite some short, punchy mid-race climbs, the 96.5 kilometre opening leg came down to a bunch sprint.
Already victorious in the same opening day in 2022, Syritsa has never won a pro race outside of Langkawi, where he picked up a brace of victories in 2023.
The 24-year-old will have a chance to go for a fifth career win in Langkawi and defend his leader's jersey in another ultra-flat stage on Monday, running for 154 kilometres from Arau to Butterworth
