Anatomy of a win: Behind the scenes with Ed Beamon and Fly V Australia

It's a sultry evening in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina and the Presbyterian Hospital Criterium is in full swing. Wandering down to a quieter section of the course away from the grandstands and speakers blasting out the announcer's incessant stream of chatter, I come across Ed Beamon, director of Fly V Australia. He's having a debate over the team radio with fellow DS Henk Vogels regarding the current race situation.
