The third stage of the Tour de Langkawi was contested on the only mountain stage of the tournament. 21-year-old Max Poole (GB, DSM Firmenich Post NL) took the sprint victory to move into the overall lead, while JCL Team Ukyo’s Pezenti finished third in his section.

The Petronas Tour de Langkawi (UCI2.Pro), which features three world teams as well as Japan’s JCL Team Ukyo and Aisan Kogyo Racing, has entered its third day. The final stage is the queen stage, which climbs a first-class mountain and a super-class mountain in quick succession. From the next day onwards, 127 competitors faced off in a battle that would almost decide the overall winner, as the race would be fought on flat stages until the end.

Immediately after the actual start of the 170.3km race, three riders, including Peerapore Chaukchankwan (Thai National Team), ran away. The main group chasing it is Yuhi Tomome (EF Education Easy Post) and DSM Firmenich Post NL. The time difference, which had widened to just under 7 minutes at 1:00, remained at around 4 minutes and 40 seconds.

The high pace maintained by EF, such as Tomome, absorbed the runaway at the remaining 66km mark. In the first-class mountain Kampung Radja (distance 19.1km/average 3.6%), Gleb Silitsa (Russia, Astana Kazakhstan), who wears the overall leader jersey, was delayed, and Mario Aparicio (Spain, Burgos BH) jumped out with 39km remaining. With a lead of 55 seconds, Aparicio passed Kampung Raja first and entered the super-class mountain Brinchang (distance 8.2km/average 5.2%).

However, with 13km to go, Aparicio was caught by the peloton, and Simon Kerr (UK) used high-speed towing for Sean Quinn (USA, EF Education Easy Post) to narrow down the group. Jorge Gutierrez (Spain, Equipo Cologne Farma)’s attack failed, and one of the favorites to win, Max Poole (GB, DSM Firmenich Post NL), launched an attack. Astana Kazakstan’s Harold López (Ecuador) and Anton Charm (Denmark) followed suit, putting the three of them at the front of the race.

Poole will pass the super mountain at the top, aiming for the finish at the end of the downhill and flat road. However, with 3km remaining, JCL Team Ukyo’s Thomas Pesenti and Giopanni Carboni (both from Italy) caught up with them, and the battle became a sprint between 11 riders.

Unai Iribar (Spain, Equipo Cologne Farma) started the sprint first, with Poole jumping out from behind to take the lead. Pezenti, who was slow to step in, was in hot pursuit, but Poole was able to hold off Lopez and claim the victory.

“I started an early sprint from a good slipstream. I had been doing good sprints in the past few months, so I believed in myself and took the plunge. I would like to thank my teammates for showing me a great run.” Poole said after snatching the victory.

Pool finished third three times and second once in this year’s Vuelta a España, but was unable to win. This puts him in the overall lead, and since the next day will be a series of flat stages, barring any trouble, he will have secured the overall victory.

Manabu Ishibashi (JCL Team Ukyo) also finished on the podium as the best Asian rider as he finished 24th on the stage, the highest finish by an Asian rider.

Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona.

Though 50 states will vote, these seven battlegrounds likely will determine whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris is the next president of the United States.

But which way will they swing?

We talked to voters in key swing states that could decide the election

Reporters around the USA TODAY Network talk to voters in seven key swing states that could decide the 2024 presidential election.

The USA TODAY Network team traveled to seven counties ― one in each swing state ― whose voters will play a pivotal role in determining whether former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris wins their state ― and, ultimately, the presidency.

Join us for 7 Counties in 7 Days: our cross-country trip across America as we talk to voters and election officials about their hopes, concerns, fears and expectations for the two candidates in a presidential race like no other.

Richmond County, Georgia

Georgia being heavily targeted by both presidential campaigns and Richmond County may hold important clues to whether Trump or Harris can prevail. Election officials fear they may get another razor-thin outcome.

Cabarrus County, North Carolina

Recent polling shows Trump and Harris in a tight race in North Carolina, a state Democrats haven’t won since 2008. In Cabarrus County, voter registration has surged in the past decade, with people of color leading the way.

Erie County, Pennsylvania

In 2020, Erie County became one of just 25 counties out of 3,143 nationwide to “boomerang” from Obama to Trump to Biden. Now, with many voters looking to the Keystone state as the key to victory in 2024, Erie County Republicans have cut into Democrats voter registration edge.

Oakland County, Michigan

Oakland County, is the richest county Michigan and its population of 1.3 million makes it so large that it has more people than eight states. Abortion rights has been a key issue in the county, where 64% of voters approved a 2022 ballot initiative to enshrine reproductive rights in the state constitution.

Waukesha County, Wisconsin

Waukesha County, Milwaukee’s immediate neighbor to the west, is the third-most populous county in the state, and the only “red” county in the top three, trailing the Democratic strongholds of Milwaukee and Dane counties. Democrats are working to cut into the Republican advantage in the county.

Washoe County, Nevada

Washoe County, home to Reno, has a reputation of being the most politically divided region of the state. Washoe County has a diverse political makeup: 32% of its registered voters are Republican, 30% Democratic, 30% nonpartisan and 8% some other party such as Independent American, Libertarian or Green.

Maricopa County, Arizona

Joe Biden became the first Democrat since Bill Clinton to win Arizona in 2020. Biden won the county by about 49,000 votes in 2020. While Democrats have pressed heavily on abortion rights, Republicans have sought to make political gains on border security.
