Riders with similar names
I can't be the only one who confuses riders and puts the "wrong" one on my team from time to time. So who do you get mixed up in your head?
These ones have messed me up so far:
Gorka Izaguirre & Jon Izaguirre
Grabsch, Gretsch, Geschke, Rasch, and someone elseschkschch I can't think of right now
Thibaut Pinot, Cedric Pineau, and Jerome Pineau
Cameron Meyer, Christian Meier, and Travis Meyer
And probably the most embarrassing two I've mixed up would be Pinotti and Scarponi.

At least one of my local Aldis has a nice stainless bike rack, but it can't be seen from inside the shop.

It's a little known fact that she models her person on that 1970's toy, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down".

An end of season used pro bike for £1500 is affordable, just choose the rider carefully.

You do get that there will be no material differences between the 2 right? Apart from 150g (1/3 of a poo or a 1/3 of a water bottle full) or so or...

Markel Irizar nad Jan Bakelants....or was that just the ITV commentary crew!!
Dupont, Hupond, Huguet. Not that I ever pick any of them.
I done it again... Quintana and Quinziato.
Demare and Delage
There are two Feillus, and two Henaos as well. And of course the Downings.
For some reason I always confuse Eisel and Kittel. No sane reason for this though (also suffer with Kadri/Gadret, Duarte/Duque and Gretcsh/Grabsch).
Other oddities:
Niemiec (which I think I correctly pronounce nee-em-ee-ets) always makes the mahna-mahna song from the Muppets pop into my head. Also his first name (Przemyslaw) is hilariously unpronouncable.
Nairo Quintana - whenever I hear his name, I think of Jesus Quintana, the pederastic bowler from The Big Lebowski, specifically the quote "F---in' Quintana man? That creep can roll".
Henao - makes me think of Crowded House ("Hey now, Hey now...")
Yohann Gene (Europcar) and Yohan Bagot (Cofidis)
During last years Giro I put £5 on J Rodriguez to win a particular stage at 500/1 thinking I'd got amazing odds, turns out I bet on Jackson Rodriguez.
Good old J-Rod II
there's also Vanendert's,Moreno's,Sagan's,Schleck's,Chavanel's(and a Chainel!!),Martin's,Velits',Dumoulin's,Izagirre's,Caruso's and Haedo's just at the elitre end of the sport but the one's I always mix up are:
Ivan Santamorita and Mauro Santambrogio
Theo Bos and Lars Boom
Thomas Lofqvist and Lars Petter Nordhaug
Could be worse though I've seen Carlton Kirby mix up Bernie Eisel and Ian Stannard....whilst Stannard was wearing the GB champs kit!!
and that spaniard sanchez...
Always used to mix up Tanel Kangert and Bram Tankink not any more though.....
Nicki and Chris Anker Sorensen of course.
José Herrada Lopez and Jesus Herrada Lopez
