Favorite Cyclist's Names?

Sonarrat

After starting such a heavy thread as the Black Riders discussion, I
thought I'd throw out something a bit more fun (and a bit inane) to
balance it out. What's your favorite cyclist name - MTB, road, track,
amateur, fatty master's, whatever? I'm partial to Gorka Gerrikagoitia,
myself.

-Sonarrat.

Mine is Frank van den Abbele

I like how riders here give names to their kids.
It would be nice if something good became of Francesco Planckaert.
Also look forward to maybe see 'Gianni Museeuw' or 'Eddy De Vlaeminck' in
the peloton one day.

There's already Eddy Mazzoleni of course, but I don't know of any other
Italian riders named after cycling legends.

Isn't Jesper the one who got run over by a race official during one of the
classics?

Colin Campbell

I love the sound of the Italian names:
Mario Cippolini
Fabio Baldato
Pietro Caucchioli
Andrea Tafi
Graziano Gasparre
Fabian Cancellara
Alessandro Petacchi
Guido Trenti (that famous American)
Gianluca Bortolami
Marco Pantani (whom I will miss)
Gilberto Simoni
Stefano Garzelli

....and those are just present day riders.

Claudio Chiappucci
Gianni Bugno
Fausto Coppi
Gino Bartali
Alfredo Binda
Guido Bontempi

But, of course, no name matches "Eddy Merckx" for the depth of
connection to cycling.
