what's in a name

I stumbled across this name on HTC's roster. Rasmus Guldhammer. How cool is that name? I also like Lars Boom (like home with a B, not like a Batman comic fight). "That's Guldhammer with a U" -if that was my name that is how I would introduce myself. I don't care who you are or what you do, if your name is Guldhammer you are going places.

Jens Voigt, his name is so powerful no mortal can pronounce it correctly for fear of spontaneous combustion. Everyone knows how to say it, but the mouth, larynx, and tongue will not.... out of fear.

There are more great cycling names out there, what are some of your favorites? This is where you can use the comment box and put something in it. I know of at least 7 people who read this so I had better see at least seven comments. Well it's not like your are going to do better than Guldhammer. Sideways Smiley Face Winking Eye

  1. Thor Hushovd. Always looked like name with a Demi-god like stature. Also brings visions of a big man with a hammer to drive it home. Not so much this year though.

  2. Gambatista Baronchelli.... oh yeah, and he was a sprinter. Huge... I think his head tube was the length of Bryan's seat tube.
    Alphonse De Wolf... Fons... really in the 80's -- the Fons was a coool cat, and '81 winner of Milan San Remo (look him up) nobody sat on a bike like that... and finally, Hans Luberding... really Luberding... just say it 10 times fast. Honey did ya bring de Luberding.
