MELAKA: An early puncture for Max Poole wasn’t enough to stop the British rider from extending his lead for the green jersey (overall leader) after Stage 5 of Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) yesterday.

The DSM-Firmenich PostNL rider now leads the group by 15 milliseconds, extending his lead from Stage 4 where he was ahead of JCL Team Ukyo’s Thomas Pesenti.
