Mankind has seen a few mighty and ruthless men such as Khan, Attila the Hun, Alexander the Great, Charles the (other) Great, Napoleon, and Caesar. Cycling has had it's fair share of these kind of men who have earned all kinds of nicknames, but few have launched their prowess across the full cycling season like Philippe Gilbert.

On my way home from work today I opened my phone to find a text from a buddy that simply read "Gilbert again! Fuck". I immediately thought that this guy Gilbert has an addiction... winning. And then I thought "he's greedy, he wants to make history and he wants his name known throughout..." And there it was, as clear as the thought, he deserves a name and wants a name that can be yelled by adoring fans on race day.

Anyway, above is my suggestion, below you can make yours. In the end we must choose a worthy name for Philippe Gilbert and say it everyday that he charges out to destroy his competition.
