Before he turned pro Jack Haig played Roger Leclerc in 'Allo 'Allo. "It is I, Leclerc!"

a bit of an old one, but I thought at the time that it was a bit of shame that Yoann Le Boulanger joined Bouygues Telecom a couple of years too late

 

[Sciatic]

Natnael Satesfatsion

When he suddenly bursts into stardom and teams start a bidding war for his services, we know what the teams that get outbid will be saying!!

Not really a link to them on PCS but when I was in Angola visiting a friend I went and watched a local cycling race.
Thing is with Angolans, this was 4 years ago and 40 years back they discovered the English language and gave their kids fancy English names not knowing what I meant.
You might understand my surprise when a guy called Nova Pepsi won the race ahead of some dude called Delicious.
Other noteful contestants where a guy called Ikea. There was somebody called Benz (after the cars I presume) and most hilariously midpack finished a guy called Rudimentary.

I know of a rider from Laos named Pepsi Pepsi.

I heard he can really shake things up in a mountain stage.

How come Winner Anacona
isn't in team Bahr-Victorious ?

 

[rallybanana]

How come Simon Carr
isn't in AG2R Citroën Team ?

So, there was a rider in the Dutch TT championship who goes by the name of Arnout Kempenaar.

In Danish, his surname sounds exactly like giant fool.

Some interesting names among the Danish Juniors:

Carl Emil Just Pedersen (procyclingstats.com)

Frederik Emil Just (procyclingstats.com)

This could cause some confusion if he has any sort of success: "Just won!" "But who just won?" "Just just won."

What is the background of this Danish rider?
Andreas Stokbro (procyclingstats.com)

He sounds like a former stockbroker who lost his shirt and a few letters of his name

A bridge made of walking sticks! Are there no better building materials available in Denmark?

We have so much water at some point we just run out of materials for our bridges...
Storebæltsbroen is somewhat more sturdy, though.

The new Dutch Junior Women's Champion 7th place finished is definitely a candidate!

And it was a race in which Poland actually participated!

I also think the PCS results are wrong, cause there's no way they rode 44.5 km/h.
FC has Nienke Vinke as the winner, Poland in 4th place and Van der Wolf in 7th.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Has former Luxembourg champion Christian Poos been mentioned yet? Too many puns to think of there.

Yeah, it's been updated now.

Yes, please stick to people with a somehow cycling-related job. Don't have to be pros; maybe there's a team out there with a mechanic with a really cool name.

I really hope there's a team out there with a mechanic named Alan Keyes.

Sounds like a right spanner!
