SINGAPORE: National head coach John Beasley has called on the powers-to-be to stage weekly cycling races if the nation hopes to be a power in world cycling.

At the just-concluded Asian Cycling Championships in Shizuoka, Japan, Malaysia only entered two riders – Muhd Daniel Haikal Suhaidee and Anis Amira Rosdi – in the junior events. Daniel did well to win the silver in the men’s junior points race while Anis also finished second in the women’s junior individual pursuit.
