Tokyo-bound Azizul and Shah try out new style astride new bike

New position: Azizulhasni and his teammate Mohd Shah Firdaus will use the WXR Vorteq bikes for the Tokyo Olympics competition next year.

PETALING JAYA: Habits are hard to break but cyclist Azizulhasni Awang has had to “bend over forward” to develop a new style before he goes in for his biggest challenge yet in Tokyo.

Azizul is changing his riding position to complement the enhanced specs of the WXR Vorteq bike he will use for the Tokyo Olympics competition next year. He has had to discard his usual leaning forward position to go into crouching position to add to the aerodynamics.
