That's two capitals and zero countries, though.

I'm a little sad I can't think of a capital which is a food item. Otherwise, that would go well with Togo.

Bandar Seri Begawan Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste would be an interesting name as well. You could also have Guinea Bissau, Chad Caracas or Muscat Togo (which could also be a take away restaurant).

Or perhaps The republic formerly known as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Port au Prince.

And I was looking for a capital that would go well with a food item such as Turkey, but didn't manage to think of anything.

Namibian rider Agassi Kariko was born 2 days after Andre Agassi won the 1992 Wimbledon singles title. Were his parents big tennis fans or is it just a coincidence?

I suspect that when he was at school, Lars Craps really didn't think his name was at all cool.

The age gap unfortunately means that we will never hear the commentary of a sprint finish between him and Christian Poos.

I don't think those had different fonts, and I'm not sure how active ciranda ever were in those.

Are there any Ganadors or Vincitores in the peloton?

Are there any Ganadors or Vincitores in the peloton?

There are Victors from France, Monaco, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Colombia and Argentina (at least). Whether they all are, or ever will be, victors is another matter.
