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.

Recommendations:
To be competitive in flat bunch sprints in international events like SEA Games and Asian Games, Filipino cyclists must race internationally to learn that unique skill set which is rarely practiced within the style of racing found locally in the Philippines. There is much more informality in terms of teams organizing strong lead out sprints in our local races. It is quite difficult to produce results in those international races when other countries like Malaysia have perfected the technique through years of international racing experience.

Marella Salamat has Asian Games medal potential in the future (with proper support).

BIDDING FOR ASIAN MOUNTAIN BIKE CHAMPIONSHIPS

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/sports/2015/01/30/bidding-asian-mtb-389409

BECAUSE of the recent success of Danao City’s hosting of the 2015 Asean MTB Cup last weekend, Integrated Cycling of the Philippines (Philcycling) president Abraham Tolentino thought it best to bid for the hosting of the Asian Mountainbike Championship.

Tolentino, who is also a Tagaytay City congressman, said they are looking to bid for the hosting of the Asian event in either 2017 or 2018 as the 2015 and 2016 events have
already been awarded.

Tolentino was in town to witness the Asean MTB, which was held in Manlayag, Patag in Danao City last weekend.

Tolentino said they came to show the support of the race, which is rated Class 3 by the international governing body, UCI.

“If we can win the bidding, then we would ask the Philippine Sports Commission for support,” he said adding that Danao would be a perfect candidate for the venue because of its world-class tracks and because the City has always given its all out support to the sport.
