    I can't explain why corporate Australia doesn't get on board," said
    Cooke, who won the 2003 Tour de France green jersey. "Any other country
    that's got half the riders we have has one or two or three pro teams
    and what they can't make up with locals they make up with imports and
    foreigners. But we've got enough to have a full team.

    It's really simple. All the big races happen on the other
    side of the planet. That's not going to change in a hurry.
    So, no exposure, no value for sponsors.

    A company like Westfield would be a good candidate, they are right
    throughout the US, expanding in the UK, and will expand into Europe.
    Anybody want to give Frank a call?

  4. Fosters advertise big time in the F1, which is mostly overseas.

    Do you know many Australians that acutally drink it tho? Isn't it made
    primarily for export? 😄

  7. That wasnt the point.
    The point was made to address previous poster who
    commented on international exposure.

    There's also the flying rat that could benefit from international exposure (though fuel costs are probably hurting at the moment).

    Good point...
    Or Tourism Australia.
    This could be the equivalent of the "Paul Hogan shrimp" campaign.

    Could be successful... Not sure how much European tourists spend per
    head or if
    their spending is above the average tourist but I would expect so...
    (based
    on no data).
