    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?

    It’s got to be ‘The Tashkent Terror’ – Djamolidine Abdoujaparov.

    Not a name for the modern age, very Twitter unfriendly!

    “Made Johnny Hoogerland look
    “Made Johnny Hoogerland look soft!”

    Surely the best name IS Johnny Hoogerland

    Sounds like Johnny hooligan, which makes it almost onomatopoeic!

    THE best name in cycling history has to be
    Henk Lubberding who rode for Ti Raleigh in the 80’s.
    What is it about dutch names we Brits find hilarious?

    I did a stage race with Steele a few years ago – he came off in the second last stage and landed face first. I think he tore about half his face off. Got up and kept riding, finished the stage then went to the medics. Made Johnny Hoogerland look soft!

    If Steele Von Hoff doesn’t
    If Steele Von Hoff doesn’t turn out to be the hardest man in cycling then nothing makes sense.

    edit: Just found out his nickname is ‘Stainless’

    Not read all the above, but its quite clearly Bryan Coquard. For English-speakers, probably the funniest-named sportsman in history.

    I’m going to lower the tone of this thread by drawing attention to Matthieu Sprick.

    ‘Pippo’ Pozzato is a good name, but I believe in many European countries ‘pippo’ has unfortunate connotations.
