PUCHONG, July 23 (Bernama) — Despite now riding as a professional, national cycling ace Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang continues to use his specially customised WX-R Vorteq bicycle as he targets a spot at the UCI World Championships in October.
The Pocket Rocketman said the National Sports Council (MSN) has given full approval for him to keep using the bike, as it fits his body and supports his KPI goals for the 2026 Asian and Commonwealth Games.
“So far, I’ve been given permission by MSN to use it, so there’s no issue. The bike was designed to fit my body, so I don’t think anyone else could use it,” he told Bernama after being named Volkswagen Malaysia’s first brand ambassador.
He said the only other rider who might be able to use the same design is Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri, who already rides a Vorteq model. “The other riders are taller and bigger, like Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom,” he added.
Azizulhasni said his return to Malaysia was to undergo training with the national squad in hopes of impressing technical director John Beasley and earning a spot for the world meet.
“Beasley is evaluating my performance to see which tournaments I’ll go to. Hopefully, I can take part in one or two competitions before the World Championships,” he said.
While leaving individual event decisions to the coaches, Azizulhasni said his main focus remains the team sprint, part of his original comeback plan.
“But we have to see if it’s still relevant. If I can go for the team event, great. If not, and I get a slot in the individual event, why not? It still depends on the coaches’ plan,” he added.
Beasley earlier confirmed that Azizulhasni is not currently listed for individual events in the World Championships in Santiago, Chile from Oct 15–19, but could be in the team sprint if he qualifies on merit.
Azizulhasni said life as a professional athlete is now more demanding, with added sponsor commitments.
“My schedule is busier. There’s less time for leisure or socialising – but I’m happy because I love what I do,” he said.
In April, the veteran cyclist announced his decision to continue racing professionally under Team Azizul for another two years, backed by a RM200,000 individual grant from MSN until 2026.
