Azizulhasni Ignites National Cycling Squad's Spirit

The return of our national hero, Datuk Azizulhasni Awang, to the track cycling squad is a monumental boost for the team as they prepare for the UCI Track Cycling World Cup.

The presence of national track cycling champion Azizulhasni Awang in the national track cycling squad has a major impact on boosting the spirit of national riders who will compete in the final series of the 2026 UCI Track Cycling World Cup at the Nilai National Velodrome today.

His presence alone ignites a fire in our young riders, reminding them of the passion and dedication required at the highest level of competition. It's not just about his experience on the track, but the aura of leadership he brings, something Technical Director John Beasley rightly pointed out as a missing element.

For us at Utusan Malaysia, this is more than just a sporting event; it's a moment of national pride. Azizulhasni embodies the spirit of 'Malaysia Boleh!' (Malaysia Can!), and his leadership is crucial as our cyclists vie for glory on the world stage, right here in Nilai.

The presence of national track cycling champion, Datuk Azizulhasni Awang, in the national squad continues to have a major impact not only in terms of performance but also brings an aura of leadership to the team.

While international media might focus on the technical aspects of the sport, we see the deeper impact: the rekindling of national spirit and the inspiration for a new generation of athletes. This is what truly matters to Malaysians – seeing our heroes lead the charge and unite the nation.

The rider is not just an experienced athlete...
