Hey, now, finally, I took the time to have a look what „Groenewegen“ actually means. I suspected it could have to do something with „green“, what could fit very well with a TdF sprinter!… :)

I found out that „Groenewegen“ means „green roads“, which is the PERFECT name for a pro road cycling sprinter.

„Green roads“! That means, all the roads he rides guide him to the Green Jersey!

Hopefully her name will not reflect in her results. She didn't seem to be the worst rider in her last race.

Thankfully, her name means something completely different in Dutch... In fact, it means "sausage"...

This name sounds funny if you're a native speaker of a Slavic language and have certain expectations about what Slavic names are supposed to sound like.
