00:00Let's talk to Coach Edz Walda via Zoom

00:04to give an update on the ongoing Asian Road Cycling Championship in Thailand.

00:12Coach, good morning.

00:17Coach Edz.

00:18Hi, good morning Ms. Meg and sir.

00:22Good morning.

00:23Coach Edz, how are you?

00:26Coach Edz is blooming.

00:30It's okay, we'll be back tonight.

00:34I'm with Ronaldo Walda who will be competing in Masters category

00:38and Marvin Mandok for the Junior category.

00:42Coach, can you give us a background on the ongoing tournament in Thailand?

00:49Yeah, this is the Asian Cycling Championship.

00:54We have riders who played here with the Philippine National Team.

00:59So yesterday, it was Jim Bonilla who got 5th place in the individual time trial under 23.

01:07And then the other, also Plastina for the Junior category who won the Batang Pinoy.

01:15And then the previous day, we have Kalia as well for the Masters individual time trial.

01:21So for today, Joshua Pascual will be playing for the elite category of the time trial.

01:34And then for tomorrow, no one will be playing.

01:38And then the next day, our two riders from the Go4Go will be competing.

01:43Marvin Mandok and Ronald Walda will be competing.

01:50Coach, can you tell us how high is the competition level here in the Asian Road Cycling Championship in Thailand?

02:00Actually, for this year, there are a lot of countries participating.

02:04If I'm not mistaken, 31 countries participated for this year's event.

02:10So it's important, especially since qualifying points are starting again.

02:19So for now, there are a lot of countries qualifying for the next four years of the Olympics.

02:29So, it's really exciting.

02:33Especially for us, I think last year, we participated for the ACC 2018.

02:46It was one of our members who gave the medal, which is Luis Grog, for the silver.

02:54So we're hoping to replicate that or even higher our results last 2018.

03:05Coach, so far, what is the country that you see as our best contender?

03:11Or are there any cyclists that you see that you need to watch out for?

03:18Actually, for this year's event, Thailand is their home country, right?

03:25So we're looking at them as our competitors when it comes to the Masters category.

03:33And then, also, Malaysia, they're also strong.

03:37Because they're the same pro riders who will compete for the Masters.

03:41And then for the juniors, we have the Iran riders.

03:48And then Indonesia, Thailand, Mongolia.

03:51Those are the ones we see as our competitors when it comes to the juniors.

03:58Oh.

03:59But, Coach Eds, can you tell us more?

04:03What are our main challenges here at the Asian Road Cycling Championships?

04:09What are the challenges that we will face in front of these countries, like here in Thailand?

04:17Actually, the road is flat right now.

04:20Although, the wind is strong.

04:24But it's just a discussion.

04:26You can't really say anything.

04:28It's like you're riding a wheel.

04:32You don't know who you're riding with.

04:34That's the only thing that's exciting here when it comes to cycling.

04:37The challenge is to have a mechanic.

04:41Because if there's no mechanic, it's over.

04:44Right?

04:45That's it.

04:46But we prepared this event.

04:50So, we're hoping to deliver.

04:53Especially since we're not really members of the national team.

04:56But still, we are being given the opportunity to compete alongside with the Philippine national team.

05:03So, we're very thankful, especially with Mr. Jenning Mico of Go4Gold.

05:08He gave us support.

05:10Because the riders that we're taking care of are the ones who won medals.

05:15Like Marvin Mandak.

05:19He won two medals from the Philippine team.

05:22And then, all year round, we were waiting for the performance of the kids.

05:27So, for us, the kids deserve to compete here together with the national team.

05:34Butch, you're right.

05:35In Thailand, the weather is very intense.

05:38Sometimes, it's humid.

05:39It's so sunny.

05:40But now, it's windy.

05:42And you prepared for that kind of weather.

05:46Did you learn your route before the tournament itself?

05:52Actually, yes.

05:54Because we were here last April.

05:56Last year.

05:57So, it's the same route that we played during the Thailand Cup.

06:04So, we already know the route.

06:07So, ahead of time, we can tell the riders about the route.

06:12The possible challenges that they can face in this place.

06:18That's why, even though we came here a bit late,

06:22it won't be a barrier for you to perform.

06:28Coach, without spoiling our strategies,

06:32can you tell us about the strategies or techniques that we're going to use here?

06:39Especially, Marvin and Ronel,

06:42so that they can perform well in their respective categories.

06:49Actually, that's what's hard for us in our event.

06:53Because we need to see the start list first.

06:57Because we haven't seen the start list yet.

06:59It's not yet being released.

07:01So, we're hoping to see the start list today.

07:05Because without that, you won't know who the riders are.

07:09Even if you tell the riders,

07:11you're just here for the breakaway,

07:13it's not possible just like that.

07:15Without being able to see who the riders are,

07:19who will be their competitors for that event.

07:23Coach, is Marvin and Ronel the only representative of Go4Gold

07:29for this Asian Road Cycling Championship?

07:33Yes, they're the only two members of this event,

07:38which is for the juniors and the masters category only.

07:41What are their chances?

07:43What's your prediction?

07:44Somehow, you've already seen their competitors.

07:49Yeah.

07:50Actually, we have high hope.

07:53Honestly, we have high hope with them.

07:55Because we prepared them.

07:57And considering that Go4Gold

08:01doesn't really send athletes

08:04to this kind of competition,

08:06or Mr. Jeremy,

08:08they don't really send them

08:10if they can't compete

08:12in events like this.

08:14So, like we said,

08:16it's just the condition

08:18that we'll be here.

08:21We'll be the opponent when that day comes.

08:24Right?

08:25So that we can perform.

08:28Coach Eds, I have a question.

08:30I remember what Mr. Jeremy said before.

08:33Is this one of the parts

08:35where our Go4Gold cyclists

08:39will compete in bigger competitions,

08:41international competitions,

08:42compared to the local tournaments

08:44that they always compete in?

08:49Yes, that's right.

08:51Because that's the main goal of Go4Gold, right?

08:55If the athlete wins locally,

09:00so there's no point

09:01if he's just in the local.

09:03Let's give the athletes an opportunity

09:05to go higher,

09:06not only for the sea level.

09:08Because that's how it is.

09:09We have leverage

09:10when it comes to choosing

09:11the competitions that we compete in.

09:13If we know that with the sea countries,

09:16they can win a medal,

09:17we can go to Asia,

09:19and then go to the world.

09:21That's how it is.

09:22That's how we give qualifications

09:27to our athletes.

09:30Just like what happened

09:31with John Ray Aguja

09:32from the mountain bike.

09:34After that,

09:35he dominated the Asian countries.

09:38So he went up to the world level category

09:41so that at least

09:42his performance goes up.

09:44He doesn't just become stagnant

09:45in that category.

09:47With that being said, Coach,

09:49do you think this is just one part

09:53of the competitions

09:54that they'll participate in this year?

09:56Especially this one.

09:57We can see that

09:58they showed a good performance

09:59in their last competition.

10:02But here, Coach,

10:04how ready do you think

10:05our team is this time?

10:10For this year,

10:11because they've already planned

10:12the careers that they'll participate in.

10:14And...

10:17We're really...

10:18Especially Martin Marnda,

10:20although it's his first time

10:21playing in an international competition,

10:23of course,

10:24you can't avoid the fact

10:25that he's nervous.

10:27So there's the fear

10:28compared to when he's in the Philippines

10:30where he always plays.

10:33Here, it's a different world.

10:34It's a different world

10:35that he'll face.

10:37So it's hard for him

10:38to explain it to the kids

10:40or describe it to the kids

10:42so that he can experience it himself.

10:44So that he can gain confidence

10:46during the competition.

10:48So after that,

10:49our plan for him...

10:51After this year,

10:52he can go to the Continental

10:54for next year.

10:55So more competition

10:56is lined up for him.

11:00For Martin Marnda.

11:02So, Coach, basically,

11:03we can expect more

11:04big international tournaments

11:06for our cyclists

11:08in Go For Gold.

11:10Yes.

11:11Yes.

11:12That's nice.

11:14But Coach,

11:15for its continuity,

11:16do we have programs

11:18right now

11:19to discover

11:20new talents

11:21in Go For Gold?

11:23Yes.

11:24Actually,

11:25in Go For Gold,

11:26we have...

11:27We created our own

11:31competition

11:32in the Philippines.

11:33So we have

11:34the Go For Gold Series.

11:36From last year,

11:37we have three

11:38Go For Gold Series

11:39that I prepared.

11:40Which is in Clark,

11:42and then,

11:43in Cebu,

11:44and then,

11:45the next,

11:46I think,

11:47in Gensan.

11:48So,

11:49we really,

11:50we followed

11:52the Philippines

11:54so that

11:55talented riders

11:56can be seen.

11:57And,

11:58to be honest,

11:59for this year,

12:00we will have four

12:01Go For Gold Series,

12:03which is in Clark,

12:04again,

12:05which is in

12:06Capistar Lab.

12:07Capistar Lab.

12:08And then,

12:09the next,

12:10it is in Pase City,

12:11in Iloilo.

12:12And then,

12:13it will be,

12:14next is in Dagdavao,

12:15and then,

12:16Bacolod.

12:17So,

12:18instead of

12:19going to

12:20competitions

12:21or just like

12:22internationals,

12:23we are the ones

12:24who bring our careers

12:25to different places

12:26in the Philippines.

12:27That's nice.

12:28So that talented riders

12:29can see us.

12:30Which is nice.

12:31It's nice.

12:32It's like

12:33sports tourism,

12:34right?
