Harrif ends career, inspiring next generation of cyclists


Moment to remember: Harrif Saleh was named the Best Asean Rider at the Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) last year.

KUALA LUMPUR: Devotion knows no bounds. Harrif Saleh, perhaps the best road sprinter Malaysia has ever seen on the international scene, fittingly chose to end his competitive career with the team where his professional career started.

The Malaysian cycling great announced his retirement as a professional rider with Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) yesterday, for whom he has raced since the UCI continental team were first formed in 2011.
