I know of a rider from Laos named Pepsi Pepsi.Not really a link to them on PCS but when I was in Angola visiting a friend I went and watched a local cycling race.
Thing is with Angolans, this was 4 years ago and 40 years back they discovered the English language and gave their kids fancy English names not knowing what I meant.
You might understand my surprise when a guy called Nova Pepsi won the race ahead of some dude called Delicious.
Other noteful contestants where a guy called Ikea. There was somebody called Benz (after the cars I presume) and most hilariously midpack finished a guy called Rudimentary.
I heard he can really shake things up in a mountain stage.I know of a rider from Laos named Pepsi Pepsi.
"Is there only one rider in the break?" "Yes, Just Pedersen"Some interesting names among the Danish Juniors:
Carl Emil Just Pedersen (procyclingstats.com)
Frederik Emil Just (procyclingstats.com)
This could cause some confusion if he has any sort of success: "Just won!" "But who just won?" "Just just won."
"Is there only one rider in the break?" "Yes, Just Pedersen"
What is the background of this Danish rider?
Andreas Stokbro (procyclingstats.com)
He sounds like a former stockbroker who lost his shirt and a few letters of his name
A bridge made of walking sticks! Are there no better building materials available in Denmark?His name means "Canebridge"!

The new Dutch Junior Women's Champion is definitely a candidate!

I also think the PCS results are wrong, cause there's no way they rode 44.5 km/h.
FC has Nienke Vinke as the winner, Poland in 4th place and Van der Wolf in 7th.
I really hope there's a team out there with a mechanic named Alan Keyes.Yes, please stick to people with a somehow cycling-related job. Don't have to be pros; maybe there's a team out there with a mechanic with a really cool name.
Sounds like a right spanner!I really hope there's a team out there with a mechanic named Alan Keyes.
