After winning six stages last year, it's taken seven days before Andrea Gaurdini (Astana) gets his first win at this year's Tour de Langkawi. Francesco Chicchi (Vini Fantini - Selle Italia) was 2nd and Aidis Kruopis (Orica Greenedge) was 3rd | share this photo | |

Andrea Gaurdini (Astana) finally has something to talk about: "It is difficult if I don't win something early in the season. But this year I had to familiarise myself with a new team and new teammates at Astana. I had entered the Tour Down Under and Tour of Qatar without the condition to challenge for wins, but here it was perfect," said Guardini. "In the final 500 metres, Tleubayev put me on the wheel of Aidis Kroupis and Allan Davis and I made a sprint from the left to overtake them. "I also knew that Anuar Manan (Synergy-Baku Cycling Project) was getting closer to me in the points classification after he collected points at the intermediate sprints but I focused on the stage win only. "I'm very happy with the victory and it goes well with the blue jersey," said Guardini, who captured the attention of the world when he won Stage 18 of the Giro d'Italia last year. | share this photo | |
