Plenty of racers have nicknames.
Terrible: "Tornado" Tom Boonen. Okay, the guys is the current king of Roubaix, but that nickname sucks.
Bad: "Cobra" Ricardo Ricco. I hope it sounds cool in his native tongue.
Fair: "The Cricket", Paulo Bettini. It does sound really cool in italian, Il Grillo, but its still just a bug.
Good: "The Killer", Danilo DiLuca. And he always looks pissed off enough to actually murder someone.
Great: "Spartacus", Fabian Cancellara. Plus, he's got a back up nickname that's almost as cool: the Swiss Time Machine.
Out of this world: "Hammer of the Gods". I don't know anyone with this nickname. I was just listening to some Zeppelin and thought that if you earned this nickname, you were king.
