Head coach Herve Dagorne said the late-blooming Chloe Leung Wing-yee has overcome her Olympic Games disappointment to become a contender for major Asian honours in 2025.
Leung was downcast after being pipped by Ceci Lee Sze-wing to Paris road race selection. However, resuming competition at last month’s World Road Championships, the 27-year-old was Asia’s best performer in the time trial event, where she finished 47th overall.
In the more recent World Track Championships in Copenhagen, only a last-lap crash in the points race ruled Leung out of top-10 contention.
“The disappointment of missing the Olympics could have either driven her to the bottom or helped her,” Dagorne said.
“She maintained a positive attitude and I told her that her time would come.
“She always wants to work hard and she listens. Whatever we decide in terms of strategy and tactics – boom, right away she can apply it.
