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

Ineos is British.


Your question may have no answer or the answer may be meaningless:

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?

IIRC, Univega was created to market Taiwan-built bicycles at lower cost
than their Italian Italvega brand. Now Univega is just another Derby
Cycle brand. Do they even market bicycle under the Univega brand anymore?
