Had an idea for a thread but not sure if it's worth the effort.

We've probably all come across some guys on Strava that are clearly pro's but they don't use their real names. So i thought it might be interesting to list those who are not easily identifiable, based on times in relation to the times of riders who are using their real name in a race, it's sometimes possible to figure out who they are. Mainly interesting if you see a KOM by a pro, that you could check who it is. But so far i can think of two (i had a 3rd but i forgot). So would people like the idea for a thread, and if so, do others know (former) pros that are on Strava under aliases? I'm not going to make a thread for 2 riders obviously.


Correcaminos .
John Deere
Dani Martinez

I can't find it now, so I may be misrembering things, but I was sure I once discovered Hugh Carthy under a weird name on there.


Is anyone working on a thorough Gran Camiño thread?

Anyone planning on making a women's Omloop thread?
I suppose people would prefer to keep the two races in separate threads, as they will partially be happening at the same time.

Anyone making a De Panne thread?
Or two De Panne threads?
Personally, I'd say that since the races are on two different days, there's no problem in having them in the same thread.

A thread, I said! Can you make a thread! Not a threat.

It is a threat that I will make a De Panne thread if no one else does.

By the way a Lenny Martinez thread would be great. I just made a Grégoire one already, I cannot be the go-to-woman when it comes to all French riders... especially since I'm not even French.

I have one prepared, in my head. Just waiting for the right moment.
