Teams & Riders Coolest Names in the Peloton*

[Armchair Cyclist]

I suppose Ina-Yoko Teutenberg's parents have some responsibility for the introduction of silly sounding double forenames into the peloton, but she has passed the burden to another generation via her alliterative kids:
Tim Torn Teutenberg (came to my notice in the Antalya results this week)
and Lea Lin Teutenberg.

One wonders what other siblings they have: Bim Bam? Cu Coo? Wig Wam? Ding Dong? Flip Flop? Zig Zag?

It's her brother, Lars, you're gonna have to blame for that. She's their aunt.

He was probably jealous because he got a very boring name himself, so he made sure his own children wouldn't suffer from it.
I believe the Canyon SRAM riders call him Mr. Pain.

King Kong, I think.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Or Binck Bank.

 

[tobydawq]

Or Binck Bank.

Or Samuel Sánchez

 

[Netserk]

Or Samuel Sánchez

I don't think the second name is a forename in that case. (But I know both a Jens Jensen and a Johannes Johansen, curiously enough)

Samu Sancho Teutenberg does have a certain ring to it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Samu Sancho Teutenberg does have a certain ring to it.

That name would make it easy for him to gain the hour record previously held by his father.

No. He goes by Lars, but I suspect it is officially Larsa Lot

Could you imagine a more cycling last name? And all of them managed to win at least one namesake race!

Apparently, there were other riders with both of these names.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm not sure it's a cool name, but Leangel Linarez definitely has a nice to ring it.

 

[RedheadDane]

Cool name. Funny name. Has-a-nice-ring-to-it name. Anything goes, as long as there's a connection to pro cycling.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sure, but I was just letting you know, that I haven't fully decided which category his name falls into just yet.

 

[RedheadDane]

Then there's a guy like Dan Frost, who has a cold name.
Same for Mikel Nieve.

And then there's also Giovanni Carboni, who has a coal name.

Pffff... you're slow! We already discussed her way back!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yes, but we've never discussed the Dutch meaning of her name.

Talking about coal names:

• KULSET Sindre
  
  
• KULSET Magnus
  
  
• KULSET Kristian
  
  
• KULSET Johannes

Dunno if they're all brothers.

Guess it won't be long before Uno-X signs Johannes, then.

Or their sister, too.

Pfff, this early-on talent scouting is getting out of hand. Last Thursday I saw Joxean Fernandez at the Anderlecht U17 mens game.

Is there something silly about the name ZigZag?
