The Fly V Australia team is doing its best to get noticed early on, putting on a lavish team presentation in Beverly Hills Friday night and already winning nine times – including at the big money criterium in Singapore on Sunday.
Perhaps lost in all the attention about the team that hopes to again be in this year's Amgen Tour of California, was the remarkable coincidence that team owner Chris White was diagnosed with testicular cancer on the same day as Lance Armstrong. White's story was told in a front-of-the-sports-page story in last week's Los Angeles Daily News.

How many teams have flight attendants (actually models) at their team presentations?

…is the fact that Fly V Australia, Jamis-Sutter Home and the BMC Racing Team are all sporting black, red and white kits in the domestic peloton this year.
(You can add the Bahati Foundation Pro Cycling Team to this list for now, too, since its official kits aren’t in yet. The team is wearing generic Louis Garneau red, white and black uniforms.)

Awesome team, Johnny was a fantastic guy to interview..
also looking forward to going to the Virgin Blue – RBS Morgans cycling team launch next week. Due to Fly V Australia not contesting the Australian domestic races in 2010 with the team’s management company, Pegasus Racing, instead launching a new squad called Virgin Blue-RBS Morgans to take on the domestic scene: Read about it here.
