Big John is more than a coach to his cyclists


GLASGOW: Australian John Beasley has been coaching the Malaysian cyclists since 2006 and, in that time, he has formed a close bond with his charges.

It’s not wrong to say that Beasley is more than just a coach to the national cyclists. He has certainly gone beyond that to forge a close rapport with his cyclists, building up their confidence, standing up for them and keeping them together as a close-knit family.
