What's the best pro cyclists's name?

My personal favourite is Johann of Zyl. he sounds like he should be in Buck Rogers or sutin.

Also a fan of Boy van Poppel as a name.

How about youse?

Fabian Cancellara is undeniably a cool name, but I do also enjoy saying Ramunas Navardauskas. Sylvain Chavanel is also rather satisfying to say.

Winner hands down is the unbeatable Abdujaparov.

However, easy to forget that Eddy Merckx is also a pretty awesome name (and Axel too, for that matter).

Does it not bug everyone how every ITV commentator prnounces every cyclist's name differently? How many different pronounciations of Sagan can you have? And dont get me started on Fuglsang...

Ignore all of those; Pete Kennaugh's dad has tweeted that it's pronounced Kenyick!

Bauke Mollema sounds like a new space age fabric from a dodgy petrochemical conglomorate. 'His whole suit is made of Balco Molymer.'
