I'm a little but confused by this. As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as the 'UCI Professional Continental Tour', nor for that matter the 'UCI Continental Tour'. Professional Continental and Continental teams compete in the Continental Ciruits, namely the Europe Tour, Asia Tour, Africa Tour, Americas Tour and Oceania Tour. Whilst they are registered in one continent, they can compete in others, but they are strictly different competitions. Moreover, in the continental circuits, different types of teams compete. For example, in the recent GP de Fourmies (a 1.HC Europe Tour event), ProTour teams FDJ, CSC, Liquigas, Davitamon-Lotto, Credit Agricole and Bouygues, Pro Continental teams Landbouwkrediet-Colnago, Barloworld, Unibet and Kaiku and Continental teams Auber 93 and Groupe Sportif Bretagne-Jean Floc'h all took part. This article eldues to a tour that doesn't exist - and suggesting only Pro Continental Teams can take part in Pro Continental events (whatever they are). We would be better in expanding the Continental Circuits page (and each continental page) and outling what different types of teams there are and what they can take part in. Just some thoughts!

Yes, i think there is no different between the competitions they can participate, but at least, in UCI website, they make a distintion between Professional Continental Teams and Continental Teams.. Calapez
- A difference that should be noted and made, but suggesting there is such a thing as a UCI Professional Continental Tour is nonsense. Professional Continental teams participate in the Continental Circuits, along with Continental and national teams. This article confuses the status of teams and the competition.

[edit] Title
How about List of Professional Continental and Continental road bicycle racing teams, maintaining it as a separate article (or main article) from the UCI Continental Circuits page? Mk3severo 20:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
