Pocket Rocketman takes silver in comeback after surgery


Neck-and-neck: Azizulhasni Awang leading from Sam Dakin just before the finish line. The Kiwi beat him at the last moment.

NILAI: It’s hard to believe that it was just seven months ago that track cyclist Azizulhasni Awang went through open heart surgery.

The 34-year-old looked far from being a recovering patient when he produced an amazing race in his comeback to top level cycling by making the podium in his pet keirin event in the inaugural MNCF President’s Cup in Nilai yesterday.
