Being the focal point of the whole operation, Vietnamese cycling as a whole, had great expectations. However, at the same time he himself fell for the attractions of the good life. With 2 liters of beer for an OCM Dollar and plenty of cafe's around his ambition in cycling was dampened every month.
Reaching to only a maximum of 44 of overall AV he did remain the teams focal point, due to lack of others. His most notable results are 3 wins in division 4 around season 54 and 55 and a win in the Vietnamese race Cua Lò - Cau Treo #25.
Currently he's working as a builder on constructions sites. He has some ambition to become a trainer, but when it happens, it happens.
