The Brain and Brawn Behind Malaysian Cycling

John Beasley, dubbed the “Father of Malaysian Track Cycling”, is a name that’s pretty synonymous with the cycling world here in Malaysia, producing talents such as Datuk Azizulhasni Awang, Fatehah Mustapa, Shah Firdaus Sahrom and Nurul Izzah Izzati. After coaching the track cycling team for 18 years, he has now moved upstairs to become the technical director of the Malaysian National Cycling Federation, tasked with the job to not only oversee other disciplines, but to also propel the Malaysian cycling scene to greater heights. He joins us to respond to the news of Datuk Azizulhasni’s plan to continue cycling, as well as share what his plans are for the local cycling fraternity moving forward.
