Teams & Riders Coolest Names in the Peloton*

[GenericBoonenFan]

The latest stage winner in the Tour of Kosovo sounds like a healthy version of cola you get in one of those woke co-op cafés.

 

[RedheadDane]

Too bad this guy is American, and not Italian, because you could say he might be quite good:

Has anyone mentioned Woo-Ho Jung of South Korea currently holding down 51st on GC at the Tour of Poyang Lake?

Tell me you didn't do Latin at school without telling me you didn't do Latin at school.

Tell me you didn't do Latin at school without telling me you didn't do Latin at school.

Never mind Latin, it's a perfectly normal word in Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and other Romance languages

Jokes on you, I did
But this is an English forum, so I made a joke suited for English native speakers.

I could also have alluded to the boardgame with the same name, but thought that was too niche.

I understood it too!

I wouldn't have expected any less of a Scandinavian.

 

[RedheadDane]

So cool, they named him twice!

Irhamdine Irhamdine

Irhamdine Irhamdine is a road racing cyclist from Comoros, active between 2025 and 2025.

Probably something to do with the naming conventions of Comoros (any experts in the naming conventions of Comoros around?)

I'm somewhat disappointed that he is not bald:

Not to be confused with

 

[hrotha]

Apparently küüt refers to a kind of cow with a stripe running along its back I think? Its Finnish cognate kyyttö now means "Eastern Finncattle" specifically. Pretty cool and animalistic regardless

 

[RedheadDane]

Future winner of the Maillot Blanc?

I guess it can be either patronymic name (he's an Irhamdine who is a son of another Irhamdine), or he only has one name and the form requires him to have two, so it got repeated.
I talked about a cyclist name Samai (and only Samai), a few years back in this thread, in his case it is the later. Samai is not Comorian, but as far as I know people from Comoro also don't always have surname, or any second name at all.

Wonder if anyone in that situation has ever just... come up with a name...
