how come CSC which if i am correct is an american company has always been
refered to as a danish team instead of an american sponsored team comprised
mostly of european cyclists?

Because the team is owned and managed by Bjarne Riis. CSC's Danish
subsidiary was (if not still is) their main sponsor; dunno if the
sponsorship is currently under US auspices or not, though.

Isn't the former co-sponsor Tiscali Danish?

No, Tiscali is an Italien Web Provider IIRC. I beleive it began with Team
home/Jack&Jones, which was the first pro team in Denmark. The sponsors
changed along the way until CSC Denmark decided they needed to be a bit more
wellknown in the Danish public. So they threw in a couple of million $ and
luckily they are still supporting our sport. Tiscali was co/sponsor the
first year with CSC.

A team's nationality is determined by the location of its registered address (ie office).

Deluca and Savoldelli are Italien and used to ride for the same Italien
team.

So Discovery/Postal is a Belgium team?
I remember when they used to play 'God Save the Queen' whenever the
Benetton F1 team won a race. Thought it was an Italian team but they
are actually in the English Midlands or something.
