I just got another disinteresting copy of Velonews and it showed the teams that will ride the Tour de France. And there wasn't a single Italian team on it. This brings up the question - Are there any Italian based teams anymore? There are a lot of Italian Teams and Ineos is British.

Riders have mixed parentage, fluid citizenship and even
sometimes dual citizenship so who is Italian?
Bike brands are more convoluted in that, for example,
Bianchi is a Nederlander company mostly selling Asian frames
with Japanese parts. Is that little Red-White-Green sticker
Italian enough for you?
