Evans Wins Stage Two

LANGKAWI, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Tommy Evans of the Irish national team won today's second stage of the Gamuda Eagle Tour of Malaysia (ETOM), a race held over 142.6km which ended at the Cenang Beach here.

Evans, 29, made an early breakaway to the finish line to win the race on 3 hours 19 minutes and 33 seconds.

Japan's Koki Shimbo was second, only three seconds behind while Francesco Cipolletta of Jura Suisse Nippon Hodo who clocked 3:19:38s, came in third.

"The victory was by no means certain until the last few metres," Evans told reporters after the race.

"I had some mechanical problems but luckily my teammates helped me out. Luck played a big part in my win today but sometimes I think that you have to make your own luck to make things happen."

While Evans took the centre stage, it was Jamsran Ulzii Orshikh of Giant Asia Racing team who surprised the peloton when he broke away with only five kilometres remaining.

However the Mongolian suffered a crash 300 metres from the finishing line, handing over victory to Evans instead.

Orshikh, who accumulated 10 points today however remained top in the King of the Mountain category with Iranian Ghader Mizbani four points adrift.

Evans also shot into the lead in the chase for the King of the Sprint's blue jersey ahead of Cipolletta.

Despite finishing 21st in the second stage, Glen Chadwick of Belgium's team Down Under from Belgium still held to the overall leader's red jersey, with a 10-second advantage over Gabriel Rasch of team Krone from Norway.

"We took too long to attack the breakaway group but luckily in the end, they did not have such a big lead over us," said Chadwick.

Team Krone of Norway topped the overall team classification, 19 seconds ahead of the Iranian national team.

In the fight for the Under-23 overall title, Iranian Amir Zargari surged to an eight-second lead over Josef Benetseder of Austria. Zargari was on 3:32:39s as against Benetseder's 3:32:48s

Tomorrow's Etom's 3rd stage is from Pantai Pasir Hitam to Gunung Raya, covering 69.5km.
