Career
editSainbayaryn achieved his first professional win at the Tour of Fuzhou, where he won the Queen stage.[5]
At the Asian Road Championships Sainbayaryn won a Silver medal in the Team time trial and a Bronze medal in the individual road race. Mongolia had not won medals in cycling at the Asian Games since 1990.[6] He wore the white jersey as the best placed Asian rider for the first two stages of the Tour de Langkawi.[7] He would finish the race ninth overall and win the white jersey after briefly losing it.[8][9]
On the Queen stage of the 2023 Tour of Thailand Sainbayaryn finished in the yellow jersey group moving him up to third overall.[10] In late 2023 Sainbayaryn signed a one-year contract with UCI ProTeam Burgos BH for the 2024 season.[11][12]
Because he signed with Burgos BH for 2024 he became the first professional cyclist from Mongolia.[4]
