Nerd stuff incoming but I think 'Vauquelin' is super cool, like it's soooo northern Gallo-Romance with the /v/ instead of /g/ for original /w/ and the /k/ instead of /ʃ/ (there's variants like Gauquelin and Gauchelin out there, and historically there are forms like Wauquelin, Walchelin, etc), plus the /l/ drop which partially obscures the etymology while making it look distinctly French (/walk/ > /vauk/~/gauk/~/gauʃ/), and it basically means "Little Welsh Guy" (as in the etymological meaning of 'Welsh': "Romance/Celtic speaker, from the point of view of a Germanic speaker"). 10/10 last name

Most names appearing here are young riders new to the sport, but I have just stumbled across a guy who never quite made the top ranks, but rode quite a bit up at .2 level to 2012
One of those cases where you think the parents really should have been held to account:

Leon Burger

I found a picture of Leon Burger in kit:

I'm sure it was a friendly rivalry. Burger and Fries sounds like best buddies.

Unfortunately, neither seems to have ever raced against Beers.
