Longest Team Name

[macnir]

During 2008-2009 Gianni Savio's team was called "Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli", 43 chars in total. In next 2 years Androni became the main sponsor but the character remains the same. So was there any team with longer name before? Amateur team not included.

To expel boredom.

Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles-Eroski-Würth


now seriously, i have no idea

 

[mortand]

Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave-Ciarrocchi Immobiliare

These smaller Italian teams with about a million sponsors are always a treat

Edit: Damn, only 41 chars. Savio's Angels still in front.

There's been a bit of a cull on names like that though with the UCI only recognising two named sponsors now, hence Radioshack-Nissan. You see a bunch of South American amateur teams with huge lines of sponsors like that.

Other nominations would be:
Gobernación Antioquia-Indeportes Antioquia
Kenda-Five Hour Energy presented by Gear Grinder
Start Cycling Team-Atacama Flowery Desert
Clube DataRo de Ciclismo-Foz do Iguaçu
Centro Ciclismo de Loulé-Louletano(-Orbitur-Aquashow)

There are some useful women's team names too:

The Missing Link Coaching Systems-Team Specialized

Should be:
Team Concordia Forsikring-Vesthimmerland Pro Cycling

There's no ø in forsikring (insurance)

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Oops! I thought maybe I was confusing it with the Norwegian, but it looks like there's no ø in that either. I knew it meant insurance (compare Ger. Versicherung/Ned. Verzekering) but really thought there was an ø. My bad.

 

[mortand]

You may have confused it with the Swedish försäkring. Ah, the joy of our beloved Nordic languages.

Back on topic: Colavita Olive Oil - Sutter Home Wines Cycling Team is a winner too.

 

[RedheadDane]

Should be:

But of course it is a good idea to secure something before the accident (or whatever) happens!
