How can anyone cheer on the teams in the Tour de France? I can't imagine anyone wanting to wave the flag for the likes of "UAE Team Emirates", "Astana", "Team Bahrain Victorious" or "Israel Start Up Nation" and as for the "Ineos Grenadiers"...

Is there a rule in professional cycling that means your team has to be named after a country with a questionable record on human rights or an evil polluting corporation?

I guess it's more honest than Premier League football, where a team might be *owned* by a shower of evil bastards from some oil-producing dictatorship but actually called, say, "Manchester City"
