NSTsports Meintjes leads young NTT Pro Cycling team in LTdL
However, the 25th edition of the race will not feature defending champion Benjamin Dyball as NTT Pro Cycling have not named the Australian in their provisional six-man squad led by Louis Meintjes.
Meintjes, 27, finished eighth in the general classification at the Tour de France in 2016 and 2017, with a 10th place in the Vuelta a Espana in 2015 and seventh spot in the Olympic Games road race in 2016 ranking high among his achievements. He comes to Malaysia with what should be a rare opportunity to go for the results himself, making Meintjes among the main protagonists for the overall title when he takes the start line in Kuching on Feb 6.
The 24-year old Dane Michael Carbel will also be making his debut with the team, having signed from Danish UCI Continental Team Waoo.
