Lazer, now the helmet outfitter for Philcycling

Lazer recently became a family member of Philcycling with its sponsorship of cycling helmets for the national team.

SEAGAMES EQUIPMENT 2019

Some equipment used during the 2019 Seagames were finally released to the Federation before they become outdated. Since August we have been issuing the equipment to different disciplines for their use. To echo our plea to the PSC , we have requested the release since the equipment were merely gathering dust at the PSC warehouse in Pampanga. As we have predicted, some parts were already either missing or replaced with inferior quality parts in the warehouse.

.

We are currently putting all items in the database and will be implementing a process of accountability. Current bikes are very very expensive and we cannot afford to let the athletes just use them without personal care. For now, selling any part of the issued bike will be dealth with with expulsion and criminal liability.

This is the way to take care of the bikes.

Carbon wheels have to be equipped with Carbon Pads

2018 TIPS FOR MTB, BMX and Off Road Discipline

TIPS AND ANNOUNCEMENT FOR DOWNHILL, MTB, BMX, FLATLAND, FREESTYLE RIDERS, SKATEBOARDERS, LONG BOARDERS. In connection with the preparation for the Seagames 2019, you are advised that the possible venues for your event will be in TAGAYTAY CITY and the NEIGHBORING TOWNS. Should you intend to represent the Philippines for the Seagames, be ready to shred the trails around these areas and establish your convincing runs and laptimes. The UCI quality BMX track and skateboard park will be ready soon and there is a possibility that the Ternate Caybiang downhill might be used for downhill longboarding. For purposes of qualification, join the different races across the country and even abroad. Results in such races will be given credit by Philcycling into your inclusion for the Philippine Team. Whenever you race, be sure to get a copy of the race results and pictures of the event. This time, even your “pistahan” races will count, provided your certified race can be verified to have occurred. However, sanctioned Philcycling races will have more points. Race classifications will be given points depending on distance, terrain, elevation gains and its technical aspects. While you are enjoying your training, step it up and aim for some millions. Money doesn’t have to come from lotto, sometimes we have to pedal more. It’s time to be in the headlines.

DISBANDMENT OF ROAD AND TRACK

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: To all those who are asking for our preparations for the Seagames, we are shaking the team right now for that and our main goal is a shot at the Tokyo Olympics of 2020 which we never had since 1992. The qualifying points will start this October and the campaign starts at that month. Since the Seagames 2019 will be held in November, the team and cyclists who have campaigned for the Olympic points (ending Oct 2019) will then be highly prepared for the Seagames. Our renewed campaign is being supported by Air 21, LBC, Standard Insurance, Go for Gold, MVP Foundation, 7-11, Cong. Abraham Tolentino and of course, PSC and POC.

 

As a result of that vision, the Board announces that the Federation has dissolved the Road and Track Cyclists and Coaching Staff, the dissolution of which takes effect on September 15, 2018; to give way to the formation of the super team which has been floating over the newspapers for several months.

 

The initial list of cyclists composing the National Team shall be based on the UCI ranking and the ranking they may have from local and international competitions. The coaching slates are also open to all applicants who are duly equipped with proper certifications as to their level of experience, education, ability to discipline the athletes and psychological ascendance. Thus the criteria shall be objective in character. Director Lorenzo Jun Lomibao Jr. has been designated as Head of the qualification/selection of cyclists, coaches and their staff.

 

Applications may be directly sent to philcycling@gmail.com in pdf form. Should you have submitted before, you are advised to re-submit your applications together with all the attachments you may deem best evaluated. You may also send your application via surface mail to Philcycling at Sumagui Law Office, Mendez Crossing, Tagaytay City, 4120. The application is not limited to Filipinos as we are also accepting applications from Foreign Coaches.

 

Without a vision, we may never attain the best for our cyclists. Critics will say it is an impossibility to be in Olympics, but if we don’t give it a shot, then truly it will be impossible because we have never tried. God be with us on this endeavor.
