Longest Team Name

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.

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)
