Default All-Aussie Pro Tour Team?

Here is a little paragraph from the RBR weekly newsletter:

Quote:
---Imagine a pro team with Cadel Evans, Robbie McEwen, Michael Rogers and Stuart O'Grady on its roster. It could happen as early as 2009 if dreams of an all-Australian ProTour team come to reality. An Australian online tourism company called Roamfree.com has pledged $16.6 million (USD) for establishing the team but still needs additional corporate and government support to go forward. The four Aussie stars have expressed an interest in the team according to Paul Varcoe, CEO of Pro Cycling Australia, the management company established by Roamfree.com. "This is something that Australian cyclists have wanted to see for a long time," Varcoe says.


I doubt if it will actually happen. Too many egos for one team. But throw in a few good domestiques and that is one powerhouse team.
