Teams & Riders Coolest Names in the Peloton*

[tobydawq]

I was looking through the alphabetical list, under names starting with "No".

The right name didn't start with No.

 

[RedheadDane]

The right name didn't start with No.

I know.

 

[tobydawq]

I know.

Also, don't cheat.

 

[RedheadDane]

Also, don't cheat.

It's not cheating. It's research!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Actually today I was thinking that Quinty Ton is a very cool name.

I Wish they'd change the rules of Bikle, so that the answer always a rider with a five letter surname (sometimes they anglicise names that don't actually have five letters).

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Also, don't cheat.

I cheat all the time by using private browsing, because I want to figure out the rider myself, even when I can't do it in six attempts. Today I officially got it in three moves.

I know it's not about cool names, but I didn't want to open a new thread for it: I would like a list of riders one can (and I will) easily mix up.

James Piccoli and Andrea Piccolo
Ben Turner and Ben Tulett
José Herrada and Jesus Herrada (yeah, I know it's not hazardous)
Jake Stewart and Mark Stewart
Clara Copponi and Chiara Consonni
...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Clara Copponi and Chiara Consonni
...

It doesn't help that they often compete gainst each other on the track as well.
Chiara Consonni is close friends with Silvia Persico who also has a sister named Chiara.
And I've heard José Been mix up Chiara with her brother, who to be fair has a unisex name.

I have never been unable to figure it out myself apart from once, where the correct answer was Walls and my final attempt was Valls...

I think I might have made the same mistake that dat. I also remember not getting Kämna because they wanted me to spell it with a normal a.

Five-word names are quite rare

Spare a thought for this poor guy who rode Le Samyn today:

DNF

STOPPA Brett

XSpeed United Continental

His parents just set him up for failure!

Dorvid Gaudon, Damian Goudu and Davien Goudin. Some of them have already retired but I forgot which ones.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Quarterman and Quartucci are on the same team (Corratec)

Adam Yates, Richard Adam Yates; Simon Peter Yates; Simon Yates, possible other permutations

Sam Bennett, Sean Bennett, Stefan Bennett

Jessica Allen and Jessica Allen (PCS listed the retired British rider as being on the Jayco Al-'Ula team this year, rather than the Australian who was already on that team last year)

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Five-word names are quite rare

Milena Line Wong Wing Wah (procyclingstats.com)

I wonder whether 'Lena' is used as an abbreviation of Milena: that would be worthy of the Teutenberg family

 

[Anderis]

If we're talking about riders on one team, nothing beats 2009 Androni:

 

[yaco]

Quarterman and Quartucci are on the same team (Corratec)

Adam Yates, Richard Adam Yates; Simon Peter Yates; Simon Yates, possible other permutations

Sam Bennett, Sean Bennett, Stefan Bennett

Jessica Allen and Jessica Allen (PCS listed the retired British rider as being on the Jayco Al-'Ula team this year, rather than the Australian who was already on that team last year)

Jessica Allen the Jayco version has effectively been retired for 2 years.

 

[Leggitte]

I thought I saw an excellent name in the Omloop van het Hageland: Miss Poland
But I read it wrong, her name is Meis Poland.

 

[RedheadDane]

Adam Yates, Richard Adam Yates; Simon Peter Yates; Simon Yates, possible other permutations

Yeah, usually, it's Simon Philip Yates.





(Simon Peter is the guy who was pals with Jesus.)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

How do you know Simon Yates isn't friends with Jesús Herrada?

 

[RedheadDane]

How do you know Simon Yates isn't friends with Jesús Herrada?

Or Jesus David Pena, his teammate...
Still pretty sure he's called Philip. I mean, he's called Simon, but also Philip.

There's also this guy:

Adam Ťoupalík (procyclingstats.com)

Whose name always reminds me of one of these:

Tupilaq - Wikipedia

I think there are things I like more in this name than the fact it's 5 words long.

This is today's winner.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Lars Craps (Soudal-Quickstep Devo Team) and Stan Craps (junior)
More steamy than cool I suppose.
