PETALING JAYA: The highly successful national track cyclists can give themselves a pat on the back as they are the biggest group to have earned the right to compete at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, from Sept 23-Oct 8.

They proved their worth again after winning three golds at the Asian Cycling Championships (ACC) that concluded on Sunday and the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) selection committee did not take long to approve nine of the cyclists to compete in Hangzhou under category A.
