2022 Tour de Langkawi
The 2022 Tour de Langkawi (known as the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi[1] for sponsorship reasons) was a road cycling stage race that took place from 11 to 18 October 2022 in Malaysia. The race is a category 2.Pro-rated event as part of the 2022 UCI ProSeries, and is the 26th edition of the Tour de Langkawi.[2] The race returned after a one-year hiatus, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia, and is making its second appearance in the UCI ProSeries.[3]

In late January, race organisers postponed the Tour de Langkawi, originally scheduled for 3–10 March, to 11–18 June, due to a surge in COVID-19 pandemic cases.[4][5] It was postponed again, to mid-October, due to time conflicts with other cycling championships.[6]
After the race, the UCI received complains from five teams of non-payments of appearance fees and flight tickets from the race organiser.[7]
Teams
Six of the 18 UCI WorldTeams, four UCI ProTeams, seven UCI Continental teams, and three national teams make up the 20 teams that are participating in the race.[8] Each team can enter a roster of up to six riders.[9][10]
Defending champion Team Sapura Cycling were barred from competing in the event due to making a late payment to the UCI's enhanced anti-doping programme.[11]
