    Is it possible to put together a purist team made purely of riders known by animal nicknames?

    From the top of my head I can think of a Gorilla, a Honey Badger, a (Froome)Dog and a Lion of Bucaramanga.

    Any more suggestions? Quick, so I can get a team in on time!

    and it’s legal at 148.0 credits……be interesting to score this team as purist during the event!!!

    Just a shame we can’t have the Welsh Dragon….Geraint Thomas who I’m really looking forward to seeing in this years tour and reckon he may have a stage win in him.

    And what’s the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison? You can’t wash your hands in Jose Enrique Gutierrez.

    Actually not that bad a team. Though I have entered it under the name of my cat, Leonard (and officially speaking, to my wife’s email).

    I’m sure I’ve heard DeGendt called that?

    Plus we have the Manx(Cat)Missile.

    Wel, Jose Enrique Gutierrez
    Wel, Jose Enrique Gutierrez was ‘El Bufalo’ but I think he’s different from Jose Ivan Gutierrez… I don’t know if you want to check here:

    I looked at it but I couldn’t see anything when I glanced over the list…
