Congratulations to The Lipatist Cycling Team for their outstanding performance at the OCBC Cycle Kuala Lumpur 2025! Competing in the high-energy 50 km category, the Lipatist team made an unforgettable impact, securing 1st place in the Women’s division and 3rd place in the Men’s division.
An incredible ride for 3,000 cyclists from 30 countries unfolded across uninterrupted stretches of 25 km through the heart of KL or 50 km for those who took on the two-lap challenge. Riders pedaled past landmarks like Dataran Merdeka, Masjid Jamek, and the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, turning the city into a course of focus, freedom, and pure cycling passion.
