The 2017 Tour de Langkawi was the 22nd edition of an annual professional road bicycle racing stage race held in Malaysia since 1996. The race was run at the highest category apart from those races which make up the UCI World Tour, and was rated by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) as a 2.HC (hors category) race as part of the 2017 UCI Asia Tour.
The race was won by South African rider Ryan Gibbons for Team Dimension Data,[2] taking the first professional wins of his career. He won the race by 33 seconds ahead of Australia's Cameron Bayly (IsoWhey Sports SwissWellness), while the podium was completed by Italian rider Alberto Cecchin, a further two seconds behind for the Wilier Triestina–Selle Italia squad.
