After the success of Australians over the past years and the recent wins of lloyd, evans, goss, lancaster and porte leading the young riders jersey;
will, how and when will an aussie team have a pro team?
Is Fly V going to be the team or will it be a setup like sky how they will come into the sport with a bang, just recruiting a whole team from scratch and becoming a proteam?
I think if an aussie wins the worlds in geelong, the popularity of cycling in aus will go up enormously. Even if they don't, a fair amount of casual sports people will come to realise what a great sport cycling is (esp. those who watch it).
RE:Fly V TdF-bound by 2012?
(In this article it says that FLY V would also like to be riding some protour events)
I am not sure how they are going to fit in the protour next year or even getting in the protour events with teams like bmc, vacansoleil, skil and saur sojasun. The problem with the sponsor issue is that Australia is so far away from Europe, what exposure will the company get from it over here and won't the sponsor have to be a big company which is willing to invest overseas to have a reason to put money in the sport?
EDIT: SORRY ABOUT TITLE SCREW UP!
