I would be even cooler if his middle name was Rose.

Nobody else spotted Jeremie La Grenade riding at l'Avenir?

Sixth yesterday, but not many big results through the year. Headline writers might be waiting a while till they get to use those puns.

Not a linguistic expert, but I sense some Celtic.

Yes. In Breton, -ig is a diminutive suffix. So Yannig/Yannick = little John, Perig/Pierrick = little Peter. Gaël is a Breton name that is popular throughout France. So Gaëlig probably means little Gaël.

I just realised that there is a Serbian cyclist called Dusan Rajovic and a Serbian tennis player called Dusan Lajovic.

There's a French cyclist called Enzo Paleni and an Italian cyclist called Lorenzo Milesi and a French skijumper called Enzo Milesi and I heard about all of them for the first time at around the same time, which at the time confused the hell out of me and I couldn't remember which one of them is called "Enzo" or "Lorenzo".

Sophie Unwin sets a new world record!

Edit: She went on to win the gold medal in the final pursuit.

This young Australian track sprinter is sadly a runner and not a cyclist, cause I would have loved to make a thread called Gout Gout is the GOUT (Greatest Oceanian Under Twenty-three).

If the Indian national track cycling team convinced him to switch nationality, they could become the new Galácticos.
