Not many opposite-sex twins.Twins.
Of course, next to all the Yateses, Van Dijkes and Oliveiras of the world, there's also a bunch of people that makes you go "This person has a twin?" and a large group of people in the "Who even are these people?" category.Twins in the peloton
Are there twins in the professional peloton? The answer is yes. Active twins are Simon Yates and Adam Yates, Tobias Halland Johannessen and Anders Halland Johannessen, Vegard Stake Laengen and Øystein Stake Laengen.www.procyclingstats.com

If counting races that have changed names then Nicolas Roche and Stephen Roche have both won the Route du Sud / Tour Midi-Pyrénées. Dan Martin also won it which is kind of family related.

Although it wasn't the same the race nor on the road, and despite none of them actually winning, I still think Lara Torresani and her two daughters, Giada and Letizia Borghesi, all getting silver medals at this year's Italian CX Championships deserves a mention.

Letitzia elite, and Giada U23.
How did Lara Torresani get a silver?

And to think their main goal this year was to win a Monument...Only WT not to get a top ten in a monument this year was Visma.
Last year their worst Monument was LBL, in which they got 7th.
welsh cricketer who played for England & singlehandedly won us the Ashes in 2005. Obviously, not the Geraint I meant.I think Jens Voigt was very underrated, especially late in his career where judging by how he was talked about, you would think that saying funny things was the only thing he had been good at.
And who is Geraint Jones?
Glenn McGrath injuring himself, the sub who caught Ponting and the incorrect call on Kasp got you that ashes hehewelsh cricketer who played for England & singlehandedly won us the Ashes in 2005. Obviously, not the Geraint I meant.
The two matches England won, McGrath was missing.......Australia put it right 18 months later....Glenn McGrath injuring himself, the sub who caught Ponting and the incorrect call on Kasp got you that ashes hehe
