Our local born-and-bred Loh Sea Keong, the fearless 22-year old from Kuala Krai, Kelantan, this week became the first ever Malaysian to ride in America's biggest cycling race - the Tour of Georgia. He's also the first Malaysian to compete in a UCI-sanctioned international stage race on the American continent. He may not be the biggest name in cycling yet, but we sure are proud of Ah Keong. He's one of those on his way to becoming the greatest ever Malaysian cyclist.
Here's the take from his GE-Marco Polo cycling Team presented by Trek website..
