and it's a retail career when his pro contract ends
Lars Boom is my absolute favourite.
I gotta go for Lars too... BOOM!!!
Mine too, it's got me seriously considering a name change...
I like Alejandro Valverde and Alberto Contador, as long as they're said in an over the top Spanglish accent with plenty of tongue-roll on the 'R'.
Another vote for the Tashkent Terror, Djamolidine Abdoujaparov. The name alone got me into cycling.
djamolidine abdoujaparov.
Also quite liking ben swift, a bit of nominative determinism there.
...Abdou...!! beat me to it! my (at that time) 4 year old neice could pronounce it perfectly!!
A list of the names I like
Bauke Mollema
Matteo Montaguti
Gianluca Brambilla
Lars Petter Nordhaug
Alexsandr Dyachenko
Mathieu Ladagnous
Wout Poels
Daniel Teklehaymanot
Dennis van Winden

Well Pelizotti is quite good.
Then:
Jeremy Hunt (because he's always in the news :P)
Kenny Van Hummel
