PETALING JAYA: There are no buts about it – Azizulhasni Awang and Co have to bag gold at the Asian Track Cycling Championships to keep their hopes of Olympic Games qualification alive.

Azizul, the 2017 world keirin champion, believes that Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom and Mohd Fadhil Zonis have what it takes to book tickets to the next year’s the Tokyo Games but stresses the importance of taking maximum points from the Asian meet.
