The PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi is one of the most important races in Asia. Since 2020, the race has been included in the UCI ProSeries, the second category of world cycling, which marked a spectacular step forward for the race. In this edition, the race has attracted two UCI WorldTeams (Astana Qasaqstan Team and EF Education - Easypost) and 8 UCI ProTeams.
