Along with the new year, Loh has signed with the new UCI Continental status OCBC Bank Singapore Cycling Team.

The team was launched with the Singaporean cityscape as its backdrop.

The local media was in attendance; here Loh is being interviewed on his new team.

The team launch received good press in the news after it was granted a Continental license by the UCI.

Back at home after the celebrated launch, Loh is set to resume training with his new team issue Opera Canova.
