KUALA LUMPUR - Pelumba negara, Azizulhasni Awang kempunan untuk meraih emas kedua pada perlumbaan basikal trek Piala Dunia di Melbourne, Australia semalam apabila penyertaannya dalam acara 200 meter pecut dibatalkan di peringkat suku akhir oleh komisar pertandingan. Semuanya gara-gara pelumba cilik kelahiran Terengganu itu dikatakan terkeluar daripada kawasan perlumbaan yang dihadkan ketika melakukan pecutan ke garisan penamat pada saringan ketiga menentang pelumba kelab Cofidis dari Perancis, François Pervis. Sebelum itu, Azizulhasni, 22, menang saringan pertama dengan catatan 11.037s sebelum tewas saringan kedua apabila Pervis mencatat masa 11.028s. Keputusan itu memaksa saringan ketiga diadakan bagi mencari pemenang tetapi segalanya berlangsung penuh dengan kontroversi. Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Abu Samah Wahab tidak menolak kemungkinan Azizulhasni tewas kerana strategi kotor lawannya itu. "Saya mendapat laporan terus daripada jurulatih John Beasley bahawa pelumba Perancis tersebut bukan berlumba tetapi lebih sibuk mengasak dan menghalang Azizulhasni. "Tujuannya untuk mendorong pelumba muda kita itu melakukan kesilapan dan dia akhirnya berjaya apabila Azizulhasni terkeluar daripada garisan yang dihadkan. "Walaupun ini tidak adil kepada Azizulhasni, Beasley tidak bercadang untuk membuat bantahan. "Sebaliknya Beasley menganggap, ia satu pengajaran dan pengalaman berguna buat Azizulhasni untuk menjadi pelumba trek terbaik dunia di masa akan datang," kata Abu Samah, semalam. Menurut beliau, memang wujud pelumba Asia disekat daripada menyinar di peringkat dunia dengan menggunakan cara-cara teknikal seperti ini. "Apa pun saya cukup puas hati dengan prestasi yang ditunjukkan Azizulhasni ketika ini. Walaupun kecewa dengan apa yang berlaku, dia sudah pun berjaya muncul juara keirin di sana," tegasnya. Ketiadaan Azizulhasni menyaksikan rakan sepasukannya, Josiah Ng hanya mampu menduduki tempat kelima selepas tewas di suku akhir kepada Jason Niblett dari Australia. Sementara itu, pelumba wanita tunggal negara, Fatehah Mustapha terkandas di pusingan kedua acara keirin apabila menduduki tempat keempat pada saringan pertama. Hanya tiga pelumba terbaik daripada saringan pertama dan kedua layak ke perlumbaan akhir. Acara 500 meter ujian masa, Fatehah menduduki tempat kelapan.

Sprint Heartbreak For Azizul After Keirin High.

A day after he grabbed a historic first ever UCI World Cup gold medal for the country in the keirin, Azizul Hasni Awang fell foul of regulations in Round Two of the series in Melbourne, Australia yesterday.

The 20-year-old qualified fifth fastest for the 200m sprint knock-out stages and made it past Australian Team Toshiba rider Daniel Ellis in the second round.

Asian keirin and 200m sprint champion Azizul then found himself disqualified after beating Frenchman Francois Pervis of the Cofidis team in the second heat of their quarter-final for a lane infringement, having already lost the first heat.

"I went just a little over the line and got disqualified after I won that heat. On power, I know I could have beaten Pervis, so that was really disappointing for me," said Azizul, when contacted.

"Now, we shift focus towards the next round of the World Cup in Beijing (on Jan 16-18). This round has given me confidence. My form has been good, considering we only started our training programme a month ago."

Josiah Ng also competed in the 200m sprint. Having qualified sixth, with a time of 10.644s, he went all the way to the quarter-finals before losing to Australian Jason Niblett and eventually finished fifth after the placing runs.

Fatehah Mustapa delivered a promising outing in this leg of the series, just missing out on a place in the women's keirin final after placing fourth in her second round heat, having done well to win a first round repechage to get there.

The Terengganu-born 19-year-old later won the placing heat to finish seventh.

Fatehah also finished eighth in the 500m time trial with a time of 36.351s, a second and a half slower than gold medallist Willy Kanis of the Netherlands.

The team will give the third round of the UCI World Cup in Cali, Colombia on Dec 11-13 a miss, looking to pick it up in Round Four, when they return to the Laoshan Velodrome in Beijing, the scene of Azizul's explosive Olympic run in August.

Jelajah Malaysia Postponed

By : Arnaz M. Khairul (NST)

THE Jelajah Malaysia's 2009 edition, originally scheduled for Jan 11-18, has been postponed to mid-April, casting a shadow of gloom over the start of the new cycling season.

Postponement was inevitable seeing that organiser 10-Speed Sdn Berhad had yet to secure a title sponsor and the new date in April will be announced subject to approval by the International Cycling Union (UCI).

A proposed merger with Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) aimed at running the race on schedule did not materialise, after the organiser was asked by LTdL chief operating officer Datuk Naim Mohamad to wait another two weeks for a definite answer to its financial woes.

The Jelajah Malaysia 2009, operating on a lengthened route comprising eight stages, requires a budget of RM4 million to run smoothly, but the organiser is without financial support.

Executive director Ahmad Arif Astaman said yesterday the date in April instead of an earlier proposal to have it in June was done upon discussions with UCI Asia Tour coordinator Jamaludin Mahmood.

"If we had to wait another two weeks before getting a definite answer, this would be impossible to mobilise our protocol and other relevant departments in order to deliver the race on time," said Ahmad Arif.

l THE national track cycling sprints squad got an early boost ahead of the opening of their UCI World Cup campaign when they bagged the sprint double at the Perth Grand Prix in Australia on Monday.

Azizul Hasni Awang (pic) took over where he left off in the Beijing Olympics and was fastest in qualifying for the 200m sprint, and triumphed by beating Australia's Scott Sunderland in the final.

In the keirin, the Malaysians registered a one-two-three finish with Josiah Ng winning, ahead of Azizul and Edrus Yunus, who were second and third respectively.

The Malaysians kick-off their UCI World Cup campaign with the second round in Melbourne next weekend.
