Great respect to Chairman Tan for building this company along strong engineering principles over 30 years. The factory with its almost complete vertical integration is simply astonishing and the bikes are clearly top quality and doing great things at the newly resurgent Astana. And thanks to Jamie for an in-depth and serious look at the XDS facility and the respect you clearly showed to the good people working there.
