Summary
STAGE
FOUR – Port Dickson to Batu Pahat (169.0km)
Easing out of Pantai
Saujana in Port Dickson, the riders, who face another daunting
day in the likely hot and humid weather, will head south to
Teluk Kemang, a popular beachfront with holiday makers.
Masjid Tanah, with its veritable old shophouses and the majestic
Merdeka clock tower, will be the venue for the first sprint
before the peloton heads into Sungai Udang, a popular camping
spot for the locals.
Heading into the historical city of Melaka, the second sprint
at Melaka Raya will provide a second adrenaline rush as it gives
spectators the chance to feel the intensity of the Le Tour de
Langkawi.
Moving further inwards, the peloton will reach Muar, the location
of the Grisek Hot Spring, the Tanjung Emas Park and of course
the legendary Gunung Ledang, which is Johor's highest peak at
1,267metres.
It is also the location of the third sprint on the stage just
before they reach Parit Jawa to finish in Batu Pahat.
