KUALA LUMPUR: Former Commonwealth Games gold medallist Josiah Ng believes the future of Malaysian track cycling lies with the juniors and that the sport must no longer rely solely on its senior riders.

While veterans such as Azizulhasni Awang and Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom can still play important roles, Josiah stressed that expectations of international success should not rest entirely on their shoulders.
