[edit] Career
[edit] 2007–2008: LeTua Cycling Team
Manan started his career with LeTua Cycling Team and showed his natural talent as a sprinter when he won two stages of the 2007 Jelajah Malaysia and the blue jersey. In the same year, he also won one stage in the Azerbaijan Tour and the Tour of Hainan. In the 2008 Jelajah Malaysia, he retained his blue jersey and won three stages.
[edit] 2009: Islamic Azad University Continental Team
His steady performance attracted several potential suitors and Manan made a decision to join Iranian team Islamic Azad University. Manan won three stages in the 2009 Jelajah Malaysia and became first rider to win the blue jersey – for the sprints classification – for three successive years.
[edit] 2010: Geumsan Ginseng Asia
Manan had to leave Iran because of a visa problem and then signed a contract with Korean team Geumsan Ginseng Asia. Manan became the first Malaysian rider to win a stage in Le Tour de Langkawi, winning stage five, and also became the first Malaysian rider to win the points classification, in the race. He also won two stages in the Tour of Thailand and one each in the Tour of East Java and the Tour of Ganzhou Songcheng.
