Pegasus Sports > 'Gillett-Fly-V' > Non existent

Jayco Skins is a cycling team in Australia full of the AIS young talented kids.

Cycling Australia are behind a team that will more than likely be sponsored by Jayco - a new entity. The Jayco Skins team would be the feeder team.

Cycling Australia aren't behind Pegasus, but are behind this new team to hit the block.

And if you think about it, it actually makes sense.

You have the top coaches at the AIS. They will have someone like Dave Sanders on to train these young kids. That is a more hopeful way than Pegasus. Jayco Skins do the Australian races develop these young athletes. Instead of them going off to join another team, they could potential join the senior team who will be aiming to race in Europe and Australian's cycling governing body is behind it.

That will be a more successful team than Pegasus.

Jayco will have nothing to do with Pegasus - guaranteed.

Gerry Ryan (owner of jayco) has said this evening on the 6pm bulletin of nine news that he wis aiming to have an australian team in the tour de france by 2012. Gerry Ryan is a proper businessman who will do a proper job.

That's a big ask. It's only two years away. Less. I have got a lot of respect for Gerry Ryan and Jayco, though, so if anyone can do it maybe he can.

what was it about mateship he said? What do Ozzies think of mates? Is it the concept similar to Michael Ball of Rock Racing?

I think he said Mates are great at taking big pay cuts to keep their jobs.

Pegasus could very well end up like Rock Racing and I wouldn't be surprised if it does.

I do not paint a future for Pegasus if Cycling Australia get behind another team.

Australian dream ends

Pegasus Sports' Pro Continental team registration has been refused by the UCI.

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Pegasus application is denied by the UCI.

Oh dear. Gutted for the riders....

Im guessing those race invites have just turned into un-invites

How on earth has chris white managed to **** this up so incredibly.

The UCI statement says taking into account the opinion of Ernst and Young. Im willing to bet their Creative accounting over the UCI bank payment has bitten them on the ****.

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

I really feel for the riders. They deserve better than what Chris White and co have provided. I hope they can get sorted out for next year but the big question is, which teams have space on their roster to take the riders?

 

[Anonymous]

So the question is, at 4pm tommorow if they dont get their license which of these riders are going to be offered jobs on other teams.

AVERY Clinton < Team RadioShack (Trainee) - Will be cheap and neo pro. Someone will take a gamble
CANTWELL Jonathan < Fly V Australia - back to fly-v?
CORNU Dominique < Skil - Shimano - has some promise, half decent on the cobbles, half decent time triallist, former track rider.
CRAWFORD David Jai < Fly V Australia - back to fly-v
DAY Ben < Fly V Australia - back to fly-v
DENNIS Rohan < Team Jayco - Skins - back to ausse domestic
EICHLER Markus < Team Milram - luck to find anywhere
HUNTER Robert < Garmin - Transitions - pro conti team may pick him up, not sure about PT
IMPEY Daryl < Team RadioShack - as robbie hunter
KEMPS Aaron < Fly V Australia - back to fly-v?
KLIMOV Serguei < Team Katusha - lucky to find anywhere
KNEES Christian < Team Milram - should find at least a pro-conti ride.
LAPTHORNE Darren < Rapha Condor - Sharp Should have no problem returning to a british team
LILL Darren < Fly V Australia - back to fly-v?
LOWE Trent < Garmin - Transitions - 2 rough seasons, might find a pro conti team.
MCEWEN Robbie < Team Katusha - pro conti team might snap up to get race invites
MORAJKO Jacek < Mroz - Active Jet
ROBERTS Luke < Team Milram - back to domestic team, bit old for pt
ROHREGGER Thomas < Team Milram - another that may be picked up by a pro-conti
SULZBERGER Bernard < Fly V Australia - Back to fly-v?
THOMSON Jay Robert < Fly V Australia - Back to fly-v?
TRAKSEL Bobbie < Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team - Someone should pick him up based on that one win
TUFT Svein < Garmin - Transitions - New Canadian Pro-Conti team?
ZAJICEK Phil < Fly V Australia - who cares

Guess we are back to this question again.

ACF is going to have a nasty shock when he wakes up tommorow morning.

 

[vala-vala]

Shame. I suppose it was inevitable, unprepared Chris White and the dodgy UCI.

 

[nobilis]

The question is, how did a team that was a still-birth, managed to have a thread with almost 900 replies.

 

[Zaschrona]

Yeah, sorry.. Mods, please delete this thread..

Easy. Its either American or Australian. In this case Australian.

 

[Barrus]

Oh I thought this deserved it's own thread, apparently I was wrong

 

[adamski101]

sadly inevitable. It has been on the cards for weeks/months. Questions must be asked as to how Chris White has managed to mess this up so incredibly badly? Be interesting to see what bull he comes up with in response to this news.

I guess the final straw for the UCI was the plan to get the riders to take a pay cut in order to ensure the funds were funds were available for licence guarantee.

Has to be hoped that some of the riders are able to pick up a ride elsewhere, although at such short notice it could be tricky.

+1.although i always had my doubts regarding the succes of this team.too much confidence is bad.
the question is where the riders will go?

 

[blackcat]

is this the backer?

 

[nobilis]

Easy. Its either American or Australian. In this case Australian.

British too but at least in case of sky, it's rather a success story.
It seems that anglosaxons are always more supportive and excited about their respective cycling projects

 

[Bromers]

Well done Mr.White for leaving so many riders without a team this close to the new year.

 

[pabryan]

Once again Australia has failed in the sporting arena.

No i dont think british. Not on this forum anyway. As someone pointed out Gerraint Thomas has achieved pretty much as much as Taylor Phinney.

Which one has 2 threads with a grand total of 200 posts, and which one doesnt?

And we didnt get any threads about a average British rider who has no contract.
