Dazed and Confused said:When will they nail Poorseyedigolakhour again?
thehog said:I've checked the UCI policy document and it appears you're not allowed to have a long surname and it can't be euro sounding.
Kreuziger, he has to go down, surname too long.
Vinokourov, too long, ban him.
Iglingsky x 2, way too long, ban them.
Rogers? Short, he gets a pass.
Impey? Short name, non-Euro, pass.
Froome? Short he can take prednisone.
JTL? Short name but hang on, Tiernan-Locke, that's Euro sounding and long, 2 year ban.
