Key tournaments are ahead for Armenian cyclist Edgar Stepanyan

The cyclist is currently involved in a training camp in Olympavan. Head coach of the Armenian track cycling team Armen Gyozalyan has told Mediamax Sport that key tournaments are ahead for Stepanyan.

He’s going to compete in Russia in later May and early June: in Tula on May 27-29, in Moscow Grand Prix on June 1-3, and in St. Petersburg on June 5-7.

“Edgar will also participate in the European Games in Belarus this summer, in team pursuit and omnium. He’s in good form and we’re working to improve it further. Our objective is to have good performance and win qualifying points in international competitions,” said Gyozalyan.

Stepanyan will try to qualify for the European Championship and get to the qualifying rounds of the World Cup. The biggest goal is to compete in 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
