KUALA LUMPUR: Scorching temperatures brought by the annual Southwest Monsoon season failed to stop Nur Aiman Rosli from securing a prestigious double victory at the National Road Cycling Championships in Pagoh, Johor today (June 1).

Aiman, who claimed his sixth national title in the individual time trial on Friday (May 30), clinched the mass start road race title today, dropping his breakaway group to claim victory in three hours, 40 minutes and 26 seconds.

Nur Aiman Zariff made it a 1-2 for Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG), crossing the line +1:20s behind Aiman Rosli while Police's Ameer Ahmad Kamal (+1:22s) completed the podium.

The 160.2km race started and ended at Kolej Vokasional Pagoh. Muar-born Aiman Rosli said he knew exactly when to attack.

"This (Pagoh) is where I had trained when I was growing up, so I know this route quite well," said Aiman Rosli, who finished third in the mass start road race last year.
