Benjamin Dyball ha fatto il vuoto nella tappa regina del Tour de Langkawi 2019. L’australiano del Team Sapura è riuscito a fare la differenza negli ultimi chilometri dell’impegnativa scalata verso Genting Highlands, togliendosi tutti di ruota e prendendosi tappa e maglia. Secondo posto, a 23 secondi, per il colombiano Hernan Aguirre (InterPro Cycling Team), mentre terzo ha chiuso lo statunitense Keegan Swirbul (Floyd’s Pro Cycling). Chiudono in Top 10 anche Luca Raggio (Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM), ottavo, che è stato uno dei primi a rompere gli indugi in gruppo, e Alessandro Bisolti (Androni-Sidermec), nono. Deve invece cedere il simbolo del primato Travis McCabe (Floyd’s Pro Cycling), che ha corso all’attacco ma ha dovuto soccombere negli ultimi chilometri.
La tappa regina fa paura a molti, così sono in tanti a provare ad inserirsi nella fuga di giornata, con la speranza di riuscire ad anticipare l’impegnativa scalata verso Genting Highlands (20,5 km al 7,5%). Dopo alcuni tentativi andati a vuoto, riescono ad evadere in 12 e, tra questi, anche la maglia gialla di leader di Travis McCabe (Floyd’s Pro Cycling), al quale si uniscono Metkel Eyob, Youcef Reguigui (Terengganu Cycling Team), Marco Benfatto (Androni-Sidermec), Umberto Marengo (Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM), Mirco Maestri (Bardiani-CSF), Cristian Raileanu (Team Sapura), Gleb Brussenskiy (Vino-Astana Motors), James Fourie (ProTouch), Brayan Chaves (Mitchelton-BikeExchange), Charalampos Kastrantas (Brunei Continental) e il leader della classifica scalatori Angus Lyons (Oliver’s Real Food).
I fuggitivi arrivano a guadagnare un vantaggio massimo di 2’45”, ma non appena si è cominciato a salire verso Genting Highlands il drappello di testa ha cominciato inevitabilmente a sfaldarsi. Gli ultimi ad arrendersi sono stati Chaves e il leader McCabe, che si è difeso benissimo in salita nonostante sia un velocista. Il ritmo del Team Sapura ha frantumato il gruppo all’inseguimento, fino a quando è stato Luca Raggio a testare le gambe degli avversari. Dopo una serie di scatti e controscatti sono andati via Dyball, Aguirre, Swirbul, Vadim Pronskiy (Vino-Astana Motors) e Nariyuki Masuda (Giappone). La progressione dell’australiano ha però fatto male ai suoi compagni d’avventura che, una alla volta, hanno ceduto, con Aguirre ultimo a mollare. Per il 29enne Dyball, che lo scorso anno aveva chiuso terzo la corsa malese, si tratta della vittoria più importante della carriera.
