00:00In cycling, it can be considered a big exposure for National Rider and Gopher Gold Star, John Andrei Aguja,

00:08who won the World Mountain Bike Championships last week in Pal Arsenal, Andorra.

00:15That's all for me, Paolo. Thank you.

00:19Not only for 18-year-old Eriga City native cyclist and one of the Asia's top junior rider, John Andrei Aguja,

00:25but also for being a lone Filipino rider and lacking in world-level experience

00:29after his participation in the 2024 UCI World Mountain Bike Championships last Friday in Pal Arensal, Andorra.

00:37In the 84-man field of the competition, Aguja finished in 76th place,

00:43ahead of the world-ranked off-road cyclists in the world.

00:46According to Gopher Gold Sports' patron and benefactor, Jeremy Goh,

00:50they really aim to give and get a high-class exposure to young riders

00:55so that their talent can reach the most talented cyclists in the world.

01:00In the field of PTV Sports, Aguja shared what he learned from his first ever World Stage

01:07so that he can recover for the next competitions.

01:10For me, it's a big help to be able to participate in these events

01:15so that I can know what I need to improve.

01:21And because of the performance that Aguja showed after the World Competition,

01:25Gopher Gold's cycling team head coach, Ednalyn Walda, said that they have a program prepared for him

01:31regarding the chance to become a world champion someday.

01:34Just like with Carlos Euro, what happened to him?

01:37He's not the Olympic champion overnight.

01:41He's 7 years old.

01:44That's what we wanted to happen.

01:46That's what we wanted to encourage everyone.

01:49Let's not just support each other because we have a medal.

01:53Let's support each other because we know that there are talented and good PTVs.

01:57For now, the target of the Gopher Gold Cycling Team is to send more cyclists

02:01to these kinds of world competitions

02:03so that they can improve their ranking points

02:06and qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

02:11Paulo Salamatin for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
