Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has vowed to get the pandemic under control and to hold the games with ample protection for all involved.
Strong expects to make his Olympic debut in Toyko this year.
“It’s all very positive with the Olympics. Pretty much all we have been getting told is that they are going to hold it at all costs, it’s really positive,” Strong said.
“I think it will be very unlikely that the Olympics don’t go ahead. It’s nice for us, to really just focus on that.”

New Zealand Cycle Classic: Two out of three ain't bad for Regan Gough, Luke Mudgway holds yellow jersey

McCormick, who won the New Zealand Cycle Classic in 2018, was shocked their breakaway lasted.
“It’s funny because last night I said there’s no point going into a breakaway in this stage because you always get caught but it was just the right combination of guys. Regan and Glenn were super strong, and it just ended out, that we stayed away,” McCormick said.
Race director Jorge Sandoval said it was the first time in the stage’s history that the peloton had not caught a breakaway.

Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy are warm favourites to win the five-stage New Zealand Cycle Classic which started yesterday in Masterton.
Black Spoke, New Zealand’s only professional Union Cycliste Internationale team, took team honours in the 2020 tour, while 2019 champion Aaron Gate finished second in the general classification.
The team’s build-up to this year’s tour started with a two-week training camp in Wairarapa in October to familiarise themselves with the region’s roads.
While here Black Spoke also competed in a race of the Trust House North Island Team Series.

Aaron Gate leads strong Black Spoke team's title charge in New Zealand Cycle Classic

Dave Lintott
Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy's Aaron Gate won the New Zealand Cycle Classic title in 2019 and is back for another title tilt in 2021.
Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy are not shy about their ambitions when lining up to contest this week’s UCI 2.2 New Zealand Cycle Classic five-day stage race being held in Wairarapa and Wellington.
“It would be great to take out the overall win and stage wins along the way,” team manager Scott Guyton said.
“We have a well-rounded team with individuals that can do well over all the terrains Wairarapa has to offer. We also have the national criterium champion, Aaron Gate in the team, and we are looking forward to seeing him race in the national jersey in our capital city on the last stage.”

NZ Cycle Classic key in Olympic preparations

A bronze medallist from the 2012 London Games, Gate is one of several members of the New Zealand track team for this year's Olympics taking part the Classic.
The 30-year-old, who rides for the Black Spoke team and won the Tour of Southland a couple of months ago, says balance is important for him to stay in top form.
"The road compliments the track cycling and visa-versa the track stuff makes me a faster road cyclist too so I enjoy doing both and this is a great race to do also."

Broken cyclist heals in time for New Zealand Cycle Classic

He rode the next 5km on adrenaline and the final 60km in pain.
A hospital visit that evening revealed breaks to his left wrist and right elbow, forcing him to withdraw from his first Tour of Southland.
But the gutsy young Southlander, who completed his schooling at James Hargest College in 2020, was back training on his bike - on a wind trainer in his parent’s lounge - within a couple of weeks.
