Terengganu Cycling Team’s rising talent Kee Zhe Yie showcased his promise with a standout performance at the Alula Tour in Saudi Arabia, clinching the most active rider classification on Saturday.

The 23-year-old collected nine points across five grueling stages in the UCI ProSeries event, enough to secure the orange jersey. Team Jayco Alula’s Dries de Bondt finished runner-up with seven points, while TSG’s Nur Aiman Rosli claimed third on five points.

Head coach Saiful Anuar Aziz hailed the achievement as a breakthrough for Zhe Yie, who has steadily climbed the ranks since joining TSG three seasons ago.

“It’s satisfying to see him prove that even at a young age, he can win jerseys at this level,” Saiful said. “This is his first year racing at ProSeries, where the competition is far tougher than UCI 2.1 or 2.2 events.”

TSG also celebrated a strong showing from Juan Pedro Lozano, who narrowly missed the podium with a fourth-place finish in the final stage from Alula Old Town to Skyviews of Harrat Uwayrid.

WorldTour outfits dominated the overall standings, with UAE Team Emirates’ Jan Christen taking the general classification and Trek’s Jonathan Milan securing the sprinters’ crown.
