Back-to-back mountain showdowns in the clouds! The Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2026 delivers its second consecutive high-altitude monster test on Stage 5, running 125.7 km from Tapah to Genting Highlands.
Flagging off from Jalan Raja in Tapah, the international peloton charges south through Slim River, Tanjung Malim, and Batang Kali before confronting the iconic, punishing Hors Catégorie (HC) climb to Genting Highlands. Rising to an intimidating 1,629 meters above sea level, this famous peak is set to seal the General Classification showdown.
Stage Dynamics & Tactical Breakdown High-Speed Highway Approach: The first 95+ km feature flat, rapid-fire running through Mualim and Batang Kali, where breakaway riders will fight aggressively for sprint points and time bonuses.
The Dreaded Genting Ascent: Starting near the 103.9 km mark outside Batang Kali, the road tilts upward drastically into a grueling 21.8 km HC climb featuring steep double-digit gradients, speed humps, and winding bends leading into Gohtong Jaya and the final peak.
General Classification Fireworks: As an HC Summit Finish, the 3 km sprint rule does not apply. Pure climbers will launch brutal attacks on the steep upper ramps to snatch the Orange Jersey.
