Sponsors: cycling couldn’t work without them. But, that does sometimes result in somewhat strange team names. Here are a few of the strangest.
From the incredibly long, to the very short to the incredibly bizarre, cycling has a long history of interesting team names. You won’t find anything like Manchester United in the WorldTour, Professional Continental or Continental circuits. You will, however, find gems like this:
#1 Ecoflam-Jolly – The juxtaposition of those two words just doesn’t sound quite right.
#2 Bonjour – Umm, yes, hello.
#3 Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni Androni Giocattoli – Yes, all 21 syllables.
#4 Start Cycling Team-Atacama Flowery Desert – Great causes, interesting team name
#5 Baby Dump – The online shop for all of your baby related products
