Matteo Malucelli (XDS-Astana) swept up a second Le Tour de Langkawi sprint victory on stage 3 in Kuala Kangsar, once again crossing the line just ahead of Riley Pickrell (Modern Adventure).

It was a close photo finish once again, but maybe not quite as close as on stage 1, with the Italian who last year won three stages of the race now having taken every available opportunity to work toward topping that total in 2026.
