Herve Dagorne has backed Yang Qianyu to rein in the provincial rivals who may try to upset Ceci Lee Sze-wing\u2019s pursuit of a second straight National Games cycling road race title.<\/p>\n

Yang reneged on her retirement plans after initially quitting the sport following her 2023 Asian Games road race gold.<\/p>\n

Plagued by a back problem since her return to competition, the 32-year-old, also a National Games champion on the track in 2017, has had her recent workload carefully managed by Dagorne.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer target now is to help Ceci, we haven\u2019t asked that of her, but it\u2019s what she wants to do,\u201d Dagorne said.<\/p>\n

On a flat Zhuhai course, Hong Kong plan to engineer the sprint finish that would allow 24-year-old Lee to capitalise on her explosive pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a difficult race to manage, the provinces know who won last time and they\u2019ll reduce our windows of opportunity,\u201d Dagorne said. \u201cThe provinces without strong sprinters will be launching non-stop attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Herve Dagorne has backed Yang Qianyu to rein in the provincial rivals who may try to upset Ceci…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[85574,113262,93517,49,48,93515,93516,99995,635,113264,113263,93519,15674,113265,99996,66009,54701,82,36378,99986,93518,99989],"class_list":["post-240517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-asian-games","tag-auscycling","tag-boey-leung-bo-yee","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ceci-lee-sze-wing","tag-chloe-leung-wing-yee","tag-chu-tsun-wai","tag-cycling","tag-gold-cup-scratch-race","tag-guardiola-cheung-lee-tong","tag-herve-dagorne","tag-hong-kong","tag-hong-kong-zhuhai-macau-bridge","tag-kwan-tsz-kwan","tag-macau","tag-national-games","tag-sports","tag-uci-road-world-championships","tag-vincent-lau-wan-yau","tag-yang-qianyu","tag-zhuhai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
