I have been thinking of "What we actually call teams in our heads" as a thread, as I am sure most of us don't use the full names of many teams.
Exactly. For example; I'm not confused by Soudal (the company) switching allegiance. Because the teams in question are "Lotto" and "Quickstep".I have been thinking of "What we actually call teams in our heads" as a thread, as I am sure most of us don't use the full names of many teams.

And when I say I'm not confused, I mean I'm not confused until I have to use full name of a team, at which point I become very confused.
And this is a pretty cool name too. Especially for a cross rider, who sometimes rides in fields.

You're right, cause we all know that seven ate nine.Numbers are evil!

Unfortunate name from a U.S. perspective — that letter means just one thing over here these days.I wasn't sure it was a Polish word.
I'll just call them the "Q Team".
Oh, yes, the incredibly famous English expression "brutto troup".I suspect this guy quite often makes the brutto troup in races.

Well, I thought "brutto" was one of those words that had basically entered every European language from some Roman past.I don't think anyone calls it that either.
In other sports it's often called a preliminary squad.Well, I thought "brutto" was one of those words that had basically entered every European language from some Roman past.
I'll give you a call when a rider called "Preliminarymesso" turns up!In other sports it's often called a preliminary squad.
Perhaps we'll see a Pakistani rider named Benazir Brutto one day.I'll give you a call when a rider called "Preliminarymesso" turns up!
Or, I'll just post here...
They even have a rider called Lauridsen in the team.Sometimes, I like going through team - and rider - lists, for... research purposes. And I came across this amazingly named team.

Sounds like a team that would try to win fairplay competitions whenever possible.
That's not a cool name!They even have a rider called Lauridsen in the team.
