In this connection, the power of our athletes can be controlled and raised through the scientific and systematic training programmes.

Especially, Gold Medals in the individual road race of WONG Kam Po in Asian Games 1998, National Games 1997 and 2001 are remarkable results among the major achievements of Hong Kong Team in cycling. Meanwhile, the Association pays more effort in the development of Junior Squad Team in every year, we would select potential cyclists to join our regular training.
