Some descriptions are awesome and great fit and you could right away tell from those three words who the person in.

On the other hand, descriptions like "brother is better", "yellow jersey wearer", "Difficult to pronounce" or "I need Wikipedia" are just lame and you would never be able to tell who the rider is if you had only those three words.

That's because some riders are so ridiculously anonymous that their famous siblings are the only thing worth writing about. :p

Lighten up man! I personally LOL'ed to the 'i need Wikipedia' remark and it could be cool with some humorous moments (i respect those who dont agree with me here) off the hook.

If you think certain riders dont get the respect necessary out of this - nominate again. I've seen some names nominated like four/five times already.

Just my two cents
