What dictates a teams nationality? I just noticed on Steephill that Farnese are apparently registered as a GBR team, but there seems to be nothing british about them. Italian name, italian website, mostly italian riders (no brits) blah blah...
Since most teams are fairly international (in terms of riders at least) what makes one team Italian and another British, and what influences a team's decision where to register?
