Tour de Langkawi 09 - Stage 1

Gavazziii, the name sounded like a soft drink, Mattia Gavazzi won the 1st stage of 2009 LTdL ahead of a fast charging Chris Sutton. Gavazzi took both the leader's and points jersey.
The Italian sprinter's thighs were as huge as tree trunks....
As usual, riders were given some freedom in the early part of the race, Dmitriy Gruzdev (Kazakhstan National Team), Jaco Venter (South African National Team), and Mohd Akmal Amrun (MNCF Cycling Team) receive some air time on TV.
Marco polo's latest recruit Ahmad Haidar Anuawar who was back from the dead after his horrible crash in indonesia a few months ago took a respective 7th in the final dash to the line.

Sleeping World Championship

Neglecting this blog for some time has earned me the unofficial Sleeping World Champion...slept through the whole of 2008...maybe its time to get out of bed.

A.H.A.

AHA is not that 80s band, AHA in this context is known as the pocket rocket man, Azizul Hasni Awang.

Today i decided to try out my luck in cyclingnews.com's 2008 readers' poll for fun.

If they had an additional poll ''most improved track rider'', i would definitely nominate Azizul Hasni Awang!

....having said that i do have some difficulty nominating names for ''best female cross rider'' and ''best female MTBer''....

This year alone, Azizul has done alot of amazing things to stamp his name in international track cycling. And that trademark wheelie is like some sort of satria baja hitam (kamen rider) bikership only to be mastered by locals from Dungun.

And if his gold medal from UCI Melbourne world cup is one of the many to come...looks like i am gonna have to start learning the art of rendering gold in photoshop!!!

伊蛮伐蘇

伊蛮伐蘇 = Ivan Basso.

If it weren't for the samurai paint jobs on his Cannondale, i would have mistaken the whole theme for China Cup...

If you agree that Ivan should only ride a Protour team by 2010, count me in...anyway...welcome back

7000 Euros

What game play?

Hokuto No Lance

The long awaited Hokuto No Ken movie, ''Kenshiro Den'' has been released a few weeks ago.

If theres a Kenshiro in the world of cycling, that would be Mr Lance Armstrong, although i think Lance is much more like ken's brother, Raoh...

Check out the clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYDxxtsxckg

The Pozzato Metronome

Alessandro Ballan - Jay Baruchel

Watched ''Tropics Thunder'' the other day, typical Ben Stiller movie...

Feel that Alessandro Ballan looks abit like Jay Baruchel (Kevin Sandusky) in that movie.

Motto On Jerseys

For once, i am willing to believe that this Captain-America-inspired-jersey for the Malaysian Cycling Federations boys were not designed by that black overated nursery centre in Cyberjaya.

I didn't notice this before...but now i do, instead of the usual maker's logo, there are some eye catching motto printed on the shoulders of MCF's jerseys.

On the left : '' Cermerlang, Gemilang, Terbilang '' which translates as.........err........i dunno.....
never mind....anyway, its just some meaningless political manifesto.

On the Right : '' Belia Benci Dadah '' which translates as youth hates drugs (hope thats true...) do have something to do with cycling and to promote cleaner sport awareness.
Just a suggestion....since our PDRM (Polis Diraja Malaysia) had one of the plainest jersey in the local cycling scene, maybe the Polis cycling team could consider printing ''Cepat, Mesra, Cekap'' onto their jerseys...
