So who's the guy on the left?

Seeing the old "ex pro cyclists cropping up in unexpected places" thread and reading back through it, I was jumpscared by this picture of Tom Boonen hanging out with The Miz:

But all made sense once I saw Niki Terpstra once challenged John Cena at Wrestlemania.

OK, that one confused me. Partly because I have no idea that the Miz is anything other than the start-point of the Ireland End to End ride (Mizen Head to Malin Head), partly because I have no recollection of Terpstra's facial features, but mainly because I was wondering who the racing driver that looks very like Tom Boonen is, given that he was apparently so well known that he didn't need to be named.

Oh look, it's Roglic moonlighting as a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills! That man is such a talent...

I've once claimed Dorion Godon, Damien Gaudin and Donavan Grondin had all been created in a lab in Brittany. It wasn't true, but now it seems like I just got the riders wrong and there had indeed been some French cloning going on.

I don't think you got my joke 😄
Google 'Alex Brookers hands'

Conceptually, I understood that it was some specific ref to Alex Brookers, although I've never heard of the guy before.

After googling I'm not sure I love the joke but fair enough.

Tbf, he looked more similar during eurovision, but I couldn't quite find the picture.

The top one looks like Jaye Davidson from the Crying Game and Stargate. Davidson does actually look quite a bit like Remco, especially the current older version

Derek Gee is also a solid tennis player from France.
