Revised List of Tour De France Teams

July 25th, 2008 | by Klaus Holzapfel |

+++Off topic posting+++

Sorry cycling fans but I had to publish a list of how the Tour de France teams should really be named. Their current team names are a bit misleading.

Here are my Top 10 in reverse order:

  • Balco VIPs
  • Eternal Youth Project
  • Secret Kettle
  • Liar Liar
  • Ben Johnson Brotherhood
  • Prozac Schmozac
  • Chemical Brothers
  • Bend It Like Armstrong
  • Asthma Survivors
  • Studio54

I promise my next posting will be a bit more “on the subject” again.

    Ok, can I have a legend for these? I know who Studio54 is, but what about the rest. These are awesome alternate names!

    Balco is the lab that provided the goods to Marion Johnson and many other athletes. Ben Johnson is of course a former sprinter that got busted and the Chemical Brothers are a rock band. “Bend it like Armstrong” is derived from “Bend it like Beckham”. Liar Liar is another movie title. The other names just came right into my mind.
