PETALING JAYA: Azizulhasni Awang looks to be back at his best after booking a spot in the semi-finals of the 200m sprint event at the Asian Cycling Championships (ACC) in Astana, Kazakhstan.

The 26-year-old track cyclist took a step closer to reclaiming the ACC sprint title he won in 2009 after beating his pal and defending champion Josiah Ng 2-0 on Saturday to set up a last-four clash against China’s Bao Saifei.
