25 year-old Colombian Julian ARREDONDO (NIPPO - DE ROSA) wins the Queen Stage of this year's Tour de Langkawi by 22s over Pieter WEENING and now leads the race by 1:22 over WEENING.

"This is my biggest win to date. I had won some races as an amateur in Italy and I only turned professional with Team Nippo last year, when I won the Japan Cup."

"Now I have a comfortable lead at the front and I hope my teammates will be able to control the race in the remaining stages."

"I was just watching how the yellow jersey (Meiyin) was behaving today before making my move. I had my teammate Baliani with me and we jumped to attack with 10km to go when we saw that Meiyin had been dropped," said Arredondo.
