[Armchair Cyclist]

Silver medal inthe Euro U23 went to Baroncini. Of course, if you are speaking directly to him, the correct form of address is Your Excellency Cini.

Confess- how many of you thought at some point that Okolo Slovenska takes place in Slovenia, not Slovakia.

Love the preview of his profile: "His best results are nothing and nothing!"
Though, technically, I suppose his best results are 60th at the 2021 World Championship U23 - ITT, and 90th at the 2019 Gipuzkoa Klasika. Not very good results, but they're his best results.

Still much better than mine.

This young lady deserves a shout-out!

Nienke Vinke (procyclingstats.com)

Sounds like a character from children's book, and I mean that with absolute love!

Have to say I think Kaia Schmid is a pretty cool name.

Just imagine if he ever took a double stage win or a Giro-Tour double or something like that.

 

[tobydawq]

Or the Giro and the Tour in the same year.

 

[Anderis]

I just said that.

 

[tobydawq]

Wauw. I'm obviously still reeling after the effort of having only lost four and a half minutes in Sicily without participating

I don't think he will get there, though.

Fausto Masnada

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Not really a cool name, I suspect that Maëlle Grossetête's family name is no more flattering in the original than it is in translation.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I'm not sure that it is a cool name, but it should make sponsorship easy to find: Shimano Bailey

A quick look on Wikipedia for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines would suggest there are more popular sports than cycing, so I wonder if his parents are quite interested in fishing.

There's also this Japanese rider:

I wonder if this rider will find a Place in the pro peleton in the future. It would maxence make sense.

Demi Vollering.

Demi = Half

I think I've already seen that last name somewhere...

And I'll call you a couple of pages too late

Not the worst thing I've been called in my life.

Loving Potatoes Cycling Team 2021 (procyclingstats.com)

This is the most Dutch team ever. Only thing that could beat it would be something like Cheese Wheel(s) Cycling club.

 

[Anderis]

The Van den Berg discussion in the Transfers and Rumours thread made me think of the irony of Van den Berg being one of the most popular last names in the Netherlands.
