PETALING JAYA: Azizulhasni Awang will need no better inspiration than himself to shine for Malaysia in the Hong Kong International Track Cup this weekend.

The 35-year-old makes a return to Hong Kong Velodrome, the venue where he accomplished a historic feat when he bagged the keirin title in the World Championships back in 2017.
