Obviously, Hungarian is a rather extreme language so no surprise you could find a lot of names on the start line of the Tour of Hungary who would be worthy of this thread (okay there are not that many Hungarians in the race), but I think the above-mentioned guy has something special about it. Yet I feel his parents missed out on the option of having even more consecutive consonants. Surely there could be thrown a couple of z's or ch's in...

There was a hockey player whose name sounded like he was bragging Jean Luc Grand Peirre. :)
P.S. on the first name it was from memory so could be a bit off.

I think this guy might have a Swedish parent. 'Nilsson' is not your typical French name.

On the same note I noticed some Irish riders in this week's Rás Tailteann with non-Irish names that suggest some cycling pedigree.
