Manuele Tarozzi  narrowly managed to fend off the sprinters on stage 6 of Le Tour de Langkawi to claim his VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizané team's ninth win of the season from a lengthy breakaway.

The Italian allrounder saw off his only most persistent rival and fellow breakaway, Stefan de Bod (EF Education-EasyPost) to net the win by a small but sufficient margin of nine seconds on the peloton.
