There you go.. This is the guy, the world champion, the overwhelming hot favourite for the sprint gold medal in Beijing. Chris Hoy.But he's down against a fighter. He's up against a rocket of a rider from Dungun, Terengganu in his quarterfinal at 5.45pm tomorrow. All odds are against Hoy losing to our boy Azizul Hasni Awang.
As if Azizul didn't have enough obstacles lined in his path as he battled through the first round, repechages and finally made it through to the quarterfinals with a spectacular wheelie that forced him ahead of Stefan Nimke in the 1/8 finals repechage, our Asian champion now has the world champion in front of him.
For as long as I've known Azizul, he's not the type of guy to fear anybody and he shouldn't start now. He's never feared speaking his mind, even if fickle minded people chose to begrudge him for that. So, he shouldn't fear telling the big Hoy that there's gonna be a Malaysian racing in the semi-finals. And he shouldn't just tell him, he should sock it to the Brit.
We're behind you Azizul. Everybody in our cycling scene is excited. We're not afraid of you losing. We're don't fear anything because of you! Go Pocket Rocket!!!
