Down and not out (Loh 5th in Taiwan) PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 23 March 2007

Some guys fight to live. Some guys live to fight. One of the best examples of the last kind is a member of our team.
Loh Sea Keong doesn't do anything without a fight. The tougher the beating he gets, the harder he bounces back. And bouncing back is exactly what he did in the Tour of Taiwan.
In the first stage, he made close friends with Taiwan ground; especially with the asphalt. The encounter resulted in the loss of some skin, bruises all over his body and a sleepless night.
Today, in the second last stage, he bounced back. Of course. What comes down, must come up. He attacked from the start, got into a lead group of 30 riders and decided to leave them again at 40 kilometers before the finish line. The initial two-men break was caught within the last 10 k's by four chasers. The sprint didn't compensate Loh's courage entirely, but his fifth place was deserved.
After the 190 k stage Loh went down, exhausted. But down is not out.
