Since when do you use the term "big names" like everybody else in the world?

Meanwhile, Tour of Iran has not been cancelled. Gianni Marchand won the stage ahead of Muhammad Nur Aiman Mohd Zariff.

What kind of a name is Sjoerd anyway?

It's a Dutch name. And every Sjoerd I have encountered in this lifetime is worthy of the Tokkie-title.
