Rider nicknames

[stainlessguy1]

Cancellara was clearly named after kirk Douglas.

So does that make his nick name Kirkcellara ?

We need to come up with something for Denis Galimzyanov if he is going to keep showing himself at the front of sprints, he has way too many syllables.

Denny G. is simple enough.

Nah,,, we have too much "G's" already... Bobby G, G (Thomas)....

Degenkolb Nickname

I didn't mean to derail the thread below (Dauphine Stage 2), but in that thread there were some pretty good suggestions for a nickname for Degenkolb.
http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?p=550763#post550763

Here's a summary of names that have been suggested:
- Die Deutsche Blitz (or maybe it should be Der Deutsche Blitz?)
- The Swordsman
- Zorro
- Svashbuckler
- The Policeman
- Der Polizist
Any more ideas?

Come on, let's stay with "Dege". There are already too many stupid nicknames around here (Cuddles, Nibbles, TGwhatever etc.).
