Default Racing in Italy/france HELP????

I Hope that some of you could please help me

I am a South African currently racing in Belgium on a small team, but the racing in belgium does not suit me because i am a small rider and back home my strength has always been climbing. I really want to go far in the sport and really belive that the only way that show my stengths is to move to an area which is not as flat. I would really like to go and race in Northern Italy or Southeast France. From the reseach that i have been doing about Italy i found that to race you really need to be in a team. Ive been told that there is a slightly lower level from Amature racing but dont know anything about it and was thinking that if i race at a slightly lower level i might be able to do well and then get invited to race with a amature team.
Can anybody give me some advice, connection, website links, or is there anybody racing in italy or france that could tell me all about it.

thanks for any help

yeah, but racing in Belgium (I'm here too... if you're my South African roommate I'm gona kick your ass tonight wanker!) will teach you how to actually race your bike rather than just go uphill fast. Got a national team? Talk to the coach. Talk to the federations of the coutries you want to race in and get a list of amature teams, start sending emails...

And if this is Wess, I'm pooping in your bunk right now
