UCI Track World Cup: Cambridge

・・・ Hye korang, . Maaf semalam tak sempat nak update pasal race. Selepas settle je perlumbaan semalam kami kene packing semua barang-barang dan settlekan logistic untuk next World Cup trip iaitu di Cambridge, New Zealand. . Untuk acara sprint semalam, saya amat gembira kerana dapat mencatat 9.841 saat. Di perlumbaan pertama saya untuk season ini iaitu di Kejohanan Asia di Korea, saya mencatat 9.977 saat. Oleh itu catatan kali ini adalah catatan terpantas saya untuk season tahun ini. Consistent membuat catatan dibawah 10 saat dan timing semakin improve, saya nampak ianya akan bertambah baik dari masa ke semasa. Harus di ingat, kejohanan yang terpenting adalah World Championships di Berlin pada penghujung February nanti dan World Cup Series adalah persiapan untuk itu. . Pada perlumbaan pusingan pertama, saya bertemu pelumba dari Amerika iaitu James Mellen dan saya tidak mempunyai masalah untuk menumpaskan beliau. Di perlumbaan pusingan kedua saya berentap dengan pelumba dari Jepun iaitu Tomohiro Fukaya. Saya tertewas kerana membuat sedikit kesilapan taktikal ketika perlumbaan dan saya melihat kesilapan tersebut akan memberikan kebangkitan kepada saya di Cambridge nanti. . Sekarang saya dalam perjalanan ke airport dan akan terbang selama 11jam dari HongKong ke New Zealand. Kepada anda semua yang berada di New Zealand, datanglah memberikan sokongan kepada pasukan Malaysia pada perlumbaan yang akan bermula pada 6-8 December. . Terima Kasih . ?@iamtrackcycling . . #teamazizul #azizulawang #teamcimb #cimb #forward #airasia #daretodream #allatars #daikin #daikinmy #daikinmalaysia #tumi #tumiglobalcitizens #nike #nikemy #oakley #oakleymy #ogk #ogkkabuto #wattbike
