Stages

The race is scheduled to include eight stages.[2] The key stage was originally intended to be the seventh stage with a climb to the Genting Highlands, but this was cancelled due to dangerous construction work taking place on the road. A different climb, Fraser's Hill, took its place; since this climb was easier, many teams who had planned their races around the original climb were unhappy.[3]

Riders who failed to finish
gollark: Really, what we need is magic low-energy-use personal teleporters.
gollark: Except you're also now lugging around the weight of the batteries and motors.
gollark: Pedals are uncool.
gollark: So if you have a set of electric cars with small batteries - enough to travel within a city and near it - available for rent, and you don't suffer too much overhead from having to rent them out, that could conceivably be a good method of transport.
gollark: Electric cars are expensive *partly* because they need batteries for hundred-mile journeys, even though most actually won't be this long. And cars are kind of inefficient because most of the time they're left idling.
