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

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
...

Until the media started referring to Mathias Norsgaard Jørgensen as (correctly) Mathias Norsgaard instead of Mathias Jørgensen, I had trouble distinguishing him from his movistar teammate Matteo Jorgenson.

Feels like the missing link between all of those Gaudins, Godons, Grondins and Ganna.

Former pro Pascal Chanteur is president of the French union of cyclists. He was one of the negotiators when Friday's stage was cancelled in Paris-Nice. Un maître-chanteur is a briber.

There is a rider on DSM's development team who is called Patrick Eddy.

I can't quite figure it out but there must be a good joke with Merckx, Lefevere and Remco's father somewhere there.

Movistar should sign that Brentford Danish player, Zanka. But he's old and it's too late to do a Remco switch. But maybe it's not too late for another footballer, former MLS player now playing for Esbjerg. Cycling needs more name confusion.
