Or CQ ranking can't.

The UCI have the same information. Their English Wiki pages call them Reverte while the Spanish ones as well as Eduard's FB page use Reverter.

Hard man Anthony Turgid?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Looks like it must be an Irish name, and at the same time looks like it can't possibly be an Irish name:
Logan O'Krafka

Could be like Dawn Porter changing her name to Dawn O'Porter when she married Chris O'Dowd

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This list starts and ends with Juan Manuel Karate.
Anyway, on the immature side, back in the 1990s, there was a NASCAR driver named D!ck Trickle. I don't think he ever won anything, but every single race, ESPN would announce the top racers and end with "and D!ck Trickle finished 33rd..."

Just a shame his name is Garate.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Look, I'm just correcting an obvious misspelling on his birth certificate.

D!ck Trickle. Was he the inspiration for the Tom Cruise character Cole Trickle in Days of Thunder?

 

[RedheadDane]

There's also a Dutch rider named Jules de C*ck (who I think might have been already mentioned in this thread)







I tried to post a link, but the censor was being way too sensitive.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Theres a US Masters level cyclist called 'Zac Coolman'

 

[RedheadDane]

More a case of cool name-combo. Two of the DSes on UAE:

Marco Marcato	Ass. Sports Director
Marco Marzano	Ass. Sports Director

 

[Samu Cuenca]

This guy is apparently a triathlete, but based on the names of him and his team he could perhaps be a man for the future.

Kevin Pogacar

Kevin Pogacar is a cyclist from Canada.

Would be even cooler if Marzano's first name was Marzo

 

[RedheadDane]

Would be even cooler if Marzano's first name was Marzo

Part of the coolness is that they have the same name...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Unless, of course, he's the same age as his teammate Ed Veal...

Eat Veal would be a funny name.

I don't know his age, but he works as a brand manager for a wine distributor.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Would be even cooler if Marzano's first name was Marzo

Or if he had been born in March.

 

[RedheadDane]

Eat Veal would be a funny name.

I don't know his age, but he works as a brand manager for a wine distributor.

I just have to do everything myself...

I was talking about Pogacar and his age and profession.

 

[RedheadDane]

You also wrote that Ed Veal would be a funny name, even though it's clearly the name of a very real person.

I'm guessing this Pogacar is at least 18.
