Mori Emerges Winner Twice In Stage Three

LANGKAWI, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Italian Simone Mori of team Jura Suisse won the third stage of Gamuda Eagle Tour of Malaysia (ETOM) en route to capturing the overall leader's title here Friday.

Riding for the Switzerland pro-outfit, Mori conquered the Gunung Raya climb in style, riding ahead of Iranian Ghader Mizbani and Indonesian hotshot Tonton Susanto.

Starting the 69.5km race from Pantai Pasir Hitam, Mori made a breakaway in the final kilometre to take the chequered flag with a time of 1 hour 48 minutes 41 seconds.

Despite putting up a stiff challenge to Mori, Mizbani had to settle for second place, 52 seconds behind the winner while Tonton clocked 1:49:54s.

"I was told to make an early attack, at the start of climb up (to Gunung Raya), if I were to win the race because Mizbani is a good climber," said Mori.
