Twenty Five years ago Steve Hegg (Co-Director of Fly V) and 1984 US Olympic team member Thurlow Rogers were part of the winning team for the first edition of Redlands. Thurlow won the event with Steve's & Thurlow's team (Levi's-Raleigh) the winning team event.<br /><br />With his win last week at San Dimas, Ben Day is expected to be battling it out with Floyd Landis (OUCH p/b Maxxis), Ben Jacques-Maynes (Bissell), Jeff Louder (BMC), Andrew Bajadali (Kelly Benefits Strategies) and Chris Baldwin (Rock Racing) for the GC.<br /><br />On the morning of the TT, Ben Day feels confident, having won the prolog & overall GC in San Dimas. Ben is focused on turning around his last year's Redlands prologue result of a close second to Rory Sutherland.<br /><br />Team mate, Jono Cantwell is showing his true potential to win the final criterium after wining the last stage at San Dimas last week. The Team demonstrated how strong and committed they are in San Dimas to defend Ben for the 3 days after the TT.<br /><br />So the planets are aligned. Fly V has the heritage of being part of the first winning team back in 1985 and the momentum to win.<br /><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;" ></span>Fly V Australiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01940250906635484062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590714451031091982.post-68242968097674790822009-03-25T06:38:00.000-07:002009-03-25T06:47:16.202-07:00Fly V Australia p/b Successful Living line up for RedlandsAfter a good win at San Dimas, Team Fly V is getting ready for Redlands.

Fly V Australia p/b Successful Living will be starting with Bazzana, Cantwell, Day, Dionne, George, Kemp, Salzberger, Zajicek. Should be a strong group for San Dimas<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.redlandsclassic.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 45px;" src="http://www.redlandsclassic.com/templates/js_jamba/images/style3/logo.png" alt="" border="0" /></a>Here is what Henk Vogels said to Velo News this week about 2009 goals in the USA:<br />....<b>VN:</b> With the roster and schedule the team has, what are realistic goals for 2009?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.scvelo.com/san-dimas-stage-race"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 111px; height: 111px;" src="http://www.podiuminsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/sandimas2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><b>HV:</b> I think Ben Day can win Redlands. He has better form than last year, and last year he was one second behind Rory Sutherland in the Redlands prologue, but then he crashed out. Phil Zajicek is managing his health issues well (Zajicek was diagnosed last year with Crohn’s Disease). He was in great form at the Amgen Tour of California before he broke his scaphoid. So in those guys we have two great GC riders. Then we have awesome one-day guys in Sulzberger, Charles Dionne, David Kemp and Cantwell. I think Sulzberger and Dionne are both capable of winning in Philadelphia.<br />Our team has six major objectives in North America — Cascade, Tour de Beauce, Philadelphia, Tour of Utah, Tour of Missouri and the Tour of Elk Grove. <span style="font-style: italic;">I think either Day or Zajicek can win Cascade; Zajicek won it in 2007.</span> <span>I think Ben Day is a seriously underrated talent. He is someone who can and should challenge Rory to win NRC.</span> That’s not our goal, because to win the NRC you have to send riders to each event, and we don’t have budget for that. I also think the surprise package this year is going to be Sulzberger. I can see him winning out of a break. He is very quick. He had two top -10 bunch sprint finishes at the Tour of California....<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.velonews.com/article/89437">click here</a> for the article in Velo News</span>Fly V Australiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01940250906635484062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590714451031091982.post-15863269466134751272009-03-17T08:04:00.000-07:002009-03-17T08:15:54.742-07:00Curtis Gunn Interview Tour of California 2009Just saw this. <a href="http://www.missingsaddle.com/">Missing Saddle</a> does some nice interviews with the racers.<br /><br /><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/Ae75dovfJw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="440" height="255"></embed><br /><br />Watch how he deflects being the <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Old Man</span>.

Did V Australia specifically train for it or are there other goals the team is setting up for in 2009? </b><br />BD: Team Fly V Australia presented by Successful Living was only notified of it's invitation to the AToC only a few weeks before the start of the race and therefore there were many, many hurdles that had to be overcome before rolling down the start ramp on February 14. Clothing and equipment were only finalised moments before, which was a small victory in itself. We really couldn't have been worse prepared, but we did have everything we needed on the day. We are all quality athletes, our administration gets things done and strives for success at all levels. We will be back in the future looking for more success....<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=6836&status=True&catname=Latest%20News">click here</a> to read the rest of the article</span>Steve Hegghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10412298232675243542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590714451031091982.post-73014465476019441652009-03-01T08:17:00.000-08:002009-03-01T08:24:49.972-08:00Kempy’s AToC TIPSFly V Australia rider David Kemp is blogging on <a href="http://www.cyclingtipsblog.com/">Cycling Tips</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiym069w8-69jC1ijziRafWkTL7jhysaEP8W6CbTDguKUdtffb-FB-tzFWybqHCAvyq4de5hRdJtp9SQM4h4a7cQoj2lmOeuLZJO1RJATlWJyJ4Xb_w0RuoPPmAAh_xRfJYrXK1Z1hW1_7N/s1600/kemp3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiym069w8-69jC1ijziRafWkTL7jhysaEP8W6CbTDguKUdtffb-FB-tzFWybqHCAvyq4de5hRdJtp9SQM4h4a7cQoj2lmOeuLZJO1RJATlWJyJ4Xb_w0RuoPPmAAh_xRfJYrXK1Z1hW1_7N/s1600/kemp3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><em>Kempy and Johnson catching Mancebo on Stage 1 and getting 11 minutes on the bunch.</em><br /><br />Kempy's view on stage 1<br />....

Team Fly V Australia will fight on and will be representing again very soon.<br /><br />All in all, we had a fairly successful tour taking into consideration our limited preparation.<br /><br />The highlights were a few days in good breakaways with Dave Kemp and Curtis Gunn and two top 10 finishes for Bernie Sulzberger, we will only go up from here.<br /><br />I am really excited about this project.

A team of 14 pros is going to beat the snot out of the bikes and expose things that might take years to find otherwise. <p>“We've always looked to build not only the best riding but also the most durable race bikes out there, and pushing the bikes hard not only in testing, then riding and racing, but also in travel and transit exposes areas to do better.

<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Bernie Sulzberger claimed ninth place in today’s 185 kilometre fourth stage of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. On a day when the sun finally showed itself, Australian Criterium Champion Sulzberger fought hard to take his place among the world’s top sprinters with a tight top 10 finish in the field sprint in the stage from Merced to Clovis.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">However with the warmer weather and a stage profile ideally suited to a sprint finish, the all-star teams of the fancied sprinters set to work and reeled in the break three kilometres from the finish. Sulzberger, with support from Ben Day, fought hard to make position in the finale as the bunch thundered to the line at over 70 kilometres per hour.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Speaking about his ride soon after the finish, Sulzberger said, “Man, that was chaotic and fast! The big teams were absolutely driving it, all Ben Day and I could do was hang on for the ride. It was almost impossible to move up. At about 800 metres from the line, a gap opened.

Hegg has been a long time fi’zi:k friend and has been directing and managing the Successful Living US Continental cycling team for the last four years. Each year Hegg approached fi’zi:k to sponsor, but each year we were inclined to decline simply due to bike sponsorship partnership criteria.<br /><br />Late last year Hegg teamed up with an Australian group to form the Fly V Australia presented by Successful Living Professional Cycling Team. In so doing, they acquired a new bike sponsor, Parlee Bicycles. Parlee, while ultimately a manufacturer and distributor of framesets only, has always been a supporter of fi’zi:k saddles. You will always see fi’zi:k atop their complete bikes, in catalogs, at Interbike and most recently on their entire line of triathlon bikes at the 2008 Ford Ironman Kona World Championships.

Here is a a little of what Ben Day said to Don.<br /><br />...........Before leaving Australia last week to ride in the Tour of California, Day stopped in Melbourne to handle his visa. Southeast Australia has been besieged by a record heat wave and wildfires that have claimed more than 180 lives. Railroad tracks have buckled. Temperatures in some parts have climbed to 118 degrees. <p> On Saturday, two days after arriving in California, Day rode in the Boulevard Road Race, set amid the mountains an hour east of San Diego. The elements produced a blizzard that turned to rain, with temperatures in the 30s. </p> <p> Proving he acclimates well, Day won the race. </p> <p> An omen for the Tour of California? </p> <p> “It instills a certain level of confidence in the team,” Day said. “Hopefully, it shows I'm not just a team captain who's talking but can get results as well.”...................</p><p><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/feb/13/1s13fitness01133-distances-cyclist-sees-roads-succ/">Click here</a> for the article</span><br /></p>Dave @ El Caminohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01950529325801613157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590714451031091982.post-84543840948235422982009-02-13T05:54:00.004-08:002009-02-16T06:51:27.027-08:00Fly V Australia / Successful Living in Pro Cycling NewsMy wife found this article - Vaugh Trevi did a great job with an overview of the team and the origins of the team...<br /><br /><span style="color:#3366cc;"><b>....Australian/American Alliance </b></span><br />When asked how the alliance with the Successful Living team started, White said, "Nathan O'Neill put me in touch with Steve Hegg last October and we both have the same goals and the alignment of our goals and our willingness to work together <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images47.fotki.com/v1454/photos/1/1292031/7200007/PARLEE_2_side-vi.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 150px;" src="http://images47.fotki.com/v1454/photos/1/1292031/7200007/PARLEE_2_side-vi.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>brought us a long way in a short space of time.
