Of course, I want to challenge the world\u2019s best, so I need to balance both,\u201d Lee said. \u201cIn Perth, not many strong riders were present. I want to use the opportunity in Hong Kong to re-evaluate the gap between myself and the international level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">With the World Cup returning to the city after a two-year absence, Lee expressed excitement about facing elite competition on home ground. She singled out New Zealand\u2019s Ally Wollaston, the double medallist from the 2024 Paris Olympics, as the rival she is most eager to face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ceci Lee Sze-wing said she had no specific target for this week\u2019s UCI Track World Cup event in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":607485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[220796,295521,53572,64,63,37818,37817,784,53579,10340,37809,11900,1736,49419,46,277,85,295522,138294],"class_list":{"0":"post-607484","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-ally-wollaston","9":"tag-asian-championships","10":"tag-asian-games","11":"tag-au","12":"tag-australia","13":"tag-ceci-lee-sze-wing","14":"tag-chloe-leung-wing-yee","15":"tag-cycling","16":"tag-herve-dagorne","17":"tag-hong-kong","18":"tag-hong-kong-velodrome","19":"tag-madison","20":"tag-new-zealand","21":"tag-paris-olympics","22":"tag-perth","23":"tag-philippines","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-tso-kai-kwong","26":"tag-uci-track-world-cup"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
