It will be a bumpy ride, but our cyclists will pedal on without Azizul after Olympics

The end is near: Azizulhasni Awang and coach John Beasley will part ways after the Paris Olympics.

PETALING JAYA: The cycling fraternity are bracing for the departure of their shining star Azizulhasni Awang with his impending retirement next year but his teammates have proven this year that they have the qualities to fill the void.

In the absence of Azizul at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, Mohd Fadhil Zonis stepped in to compete in the keirin alongside Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom while Mohd Ridwan Sahrom replaced his senior in the sprint.
