Follow Lao's only professional cyclist in the Olympic Rio road race. He was admitted on a wild card.

​Laos's Only Professional Cyclist Is Ready for His Olympic Close-Up
Laos is not known for producing world-class athletes, let alone Olympian cyclists. In fact, the tiny Southeast Asian country known officially as the Lao People's Democratic Republic never makes global sports headlines.
