Stage 7 covers 159.1km from the historic city of Melaka to Batu Pahat, offering one of the final opportunities for the sprinters before the race concludes. The route travels through the mostly flat coastal plains of Melaka and Johor, with long, exposed roads that could see crosswinds split the peloton. After the demanding mountain stages earlier in the week, riders will rely on strong teamwork and positioning as sprint teams aim to control the race for a fast finish in Batu Pahat.
