SHAH ALAM: For the first time ever,
cycling fans will get to experience a more serious challenge as they
participate in the build-up event towards Le Tour de Langkawi 2016 (LTdL), the
Pulau Indah 180 on January 17, organized by Central Spectrum (M) Sdn
Bhd.
Moving away from the traditional short
distance fun rides to hype up the atmosphere for LTdL and to bring cycling fans
closer to the event, event manager Ciclista Sports Sdn Bhd have decided to
capitalise on the immense popularity of century rides this time around, by
introducing the Pulau Indah 180.
With century rides, generally challenges
of 160 kilometres or less, held around the country currently attracting
participation of more than 2,000 cycling enthusiasts at each event, the Pulau
Indah 180 will be more unique in aiming to hype up the promotions for LTdL 2016
by bringing together the masses of true cycling fans.
At the launch today, LTdL 2016 CEO Emir
Abdul Jalal said the event is expected to be popular with cycling enthusiasts
while at the same time reaching the target audience of the race which are the
cycling fans themselves.
"This time the aim is to get right
to the base of cycling fans, by offering an event for the fans. Cycling fans
aren't like most fans of other sports, where here we have many fans who
actually cycle quite seriously themselves and now they have an event which will
link them to LTdL," said Emir.
He added that the event will have the
same expertise as LTdL, ‘We will bring forward our LTdL team, making sure that
the quality of this event is at a top level. We want the fans to have a
memorable riding experience.’
The 21st edition of LTdL is already
expected to attract a large number of television audiences and through the
Pulau Indah 180, as with the usual pre-race promotional events, this will also
be a chance for fans to ride alongside some of the local and foreign stars who
will feature in the LTdL itself.
Also present at the launch were Mahmud Abbas Chief Executive Officer
of Central Spectrum (M) Sdn Bhd, organiser of Pulau Indah 180, Shahirudeen
Seeni Mohamad, Managing Director of Ciclista Sports Sdn Bhd, event officials
and sponsors.
