Teams & Riders Coolest Names in the Peloton*

Page 32 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
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".

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.

I know it's unlikely, but I hope he has at least some prominence in the coming years! I am so immature.

I suspect this guy quite often makes the brutto troup in races.

Oh, yes, the incredibly famous English expression "brutto troup".

I haven't heard of one situation where he did that...
 
Sometimes we focus too much on individual cool names and ignore how cool a race result can be collectively:
