Seven riders from LAMPRE-MERIDA will participate in the men's road race of the Rio Olympic Games.
On Saturday, Yukiya Arashiro(Japan), Kristijan Durasek (Croatia), Rui Alberto Faria da Costa (Portugal), Tsgabu Grmay (Ethiopia), Louis Meintjes (South Africa), Matej Mohoric (Slovenia) and Jan Polanc (Slovenia) will fight for a medal.
Tsgabu Grmay will have an extraordinary experience: the African rider, who was the first cyclist from Ethiopia to participate in the Tour de France, will have the honor to be the flag bearer for his country in the opening ceremony of the Games.
"The mix of happiness and pride gives me a great feeling about being the flag bearer for my Country," Grmay commented. "The participation in the Tour de France brought me a lot of amazing things, the role of flag bearer included: I'd like to thanks LAMPRE-MERIDA and all the team's members for the opportunities they gave me."
