So the red names are the ones that need changed?

Yep. The red ones are the ones that should appear in the game, the ones from the UCI. It´s clearer in the spreadsheet. And oops, I thought I had left this one out, but its there…

Steven Cummings in the game is ‘Stephen’ on the UCI website

I´ll be glad to look at any other rider lists you have…

Ok, here are the corrections
Ok, here are the corrections (below) in a zipped file and in an image…
If you’ll upload the Pro Continental Teams I’ll be happy to take a look at those, too… I’m going to have to write the UCI again, ’cause I think they have mistakes I hadn’t noticed before… You surpried me… I noticed you had already fixed a few… About ‘Tsatevich’, I’m writing the UCI with what Twy mentioned so I’d just take out the 2nd ‘T’…

Grovel, sir? Admit my mistake? Me? I will do no such thing! I beg to differ, sir. I, sir, do not make mistakes 😀 I refuse to do such a thing, of course! 😀

Because of this below, sir. Here’s what I wrote to them:

I… wanted to point out some differences in the rider names as they appear on the various team websites and the UCI website.

… The following are riders whose names I think have may have been misspelled. I apologize if I am mistaken.

Alexey Tsatevitch is Alexey ‘Tsatevich’ on the Katusha website. The last name has no ‘T’ on the website.

Javier Acevedo should be ‘Janier’ Acevedo. Javier is the most common name, but the rider’s name has an ‘n’ in the middle rather than the more common ‘v’.

Ion Izaguirre’s last name on the Movistar website is Ion ‘Izagirre’, with no ‘u’ in it.

His brother, Gorka, of course, also has the same last name.

Thank you!

An apology is expected, kind sir. 😀

…Tsatevich’s twitter handle is @TsatevichAlexey… his English looks good enough to be relied upon to spell his own name.

I will write them back, of course. But there is no mistake to be admitted to on my part 😀 In fact, you (!) sir, are mistaken about my being mistaken and should come ‘groveling’ to me admitting your mistake about my being mistaken (!) 😕

I’m an old, useless bureaucrat, at heart, fond of tradition and things done properly and, of course, of doing the proper thing. We’re a relatively useless family, you see, my grandfather was a government bureaucrat, my father is a lawyer and I, well, I used to teach, so, you see, we quibble about the tiniest of things in a constant effort to upstage one another… Truly useless but highly entartaining 😀 And we have fun doing it! 🙂
