Best VDS Team Names

PrintLooking at the list of already submitted teams, I couldn't help but laugh at a few of them. Never mind who is actually in your team - VDS will result in crushing disappointment for all but a few. But even if you don't win, at least you can have a cool team name.
This year so far (I've ignored the not-yet-submitted names as they still can be changed):
Runner up is...
OnTheRivet with "25 Riders Sure to Excel in 2013". Tell me about it.
And the winner is...
edredonbrowny with "Henao, Henao, don't dream it's Omloop". Brilliant.
If tgsgirl submits "Sependipity" that'd make my list too. (Oh - and my favourites from previous years are: "Derailleurs in the Mist", and "I Picked You Why"? I guess I like a good pun and some soul-destroying angst.)

Gosh. Thanks both.
I gave up on “Getting Wiggy with It”, and also “Getting Wiggy with Piti”. So glad I arrived at something popular!

Civetta's 'Owls of Derision' is still my all time favourite...love it.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yep.
I agree with your winner pick.
I also like “My brakes must be rubbing”.
And my favorite from previous years is “Riding Squirty”…I chuckle every time I read it.
So many great names...
I especially enjoyed French Postal, Death Head Racing, Team Sneaky, The Nazgul, and Argh!
Start fast, finish fast, and hope you're fast enough-- Cadel Evans
I like those:
Raving Mad and Somewhat Slightly Dazed
Woulda Coulda Shoulda
Fighting Squadron of Mosquitoes
But my all time favorite is: allez u bustards
In loving memory of the HTC- Highroad
.
I got a good laugh from....
Thank You for the Heartbreak
French Postal
Those Who Dig
Occuppy Muur St
Cycles Goff
Those Who Dig
is pretty good. I have a pretty good idea who the DS might be (either Tuco Benedicto Pacífico Juan María Ramírez or Bill Carson).
There are two kinds of teams my friend..............
All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch.
Yes, Sependipity will be submitted of course
once I finally get through with agonizing over my six-pointer.
Coffee cures all. ~ Gav
I am still deciding
If anyone feels like commenting on my choices or making suggestions:
Coffee Hand Ups
Missionaries of Schleck
Horner’s Celebrations of Style
I Dream of Boonen
Right now I am living off of Coffee so that has the to spot. I am not above taking suggestions or clever edits.
Who else is dreaming of Boonen? Own up!
Bet your dream wasn’t a patch on mine.
It's pronounced "Int-CHOW-stie"
Hmmm
I guess interpretations will vary. I was thinking of dreaming of him winning me points and in the cycling mad world of Belgium he is what many dream to be. I guess the more meanings the merrier…
Daphny Van Den Brains and the Zombies!
I saw a baby that looked like Cadel Evans the other day...

I like "Gotta be a mango tree around here somewhere"
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi.
"If I couldn't play for the Colts, I would probably stop playing football." - Peyton Manning.
Wing meet Prayer is now submitted
I originally named the team Pedal or Die! but thought that might be a bit unfeeling given the dangers my riders face on the road. So to be consistent with my women’s team (Bottom Dwellers) I renamed the team to reflect my chances of winning and how well constructed the strategy for selection.
Sadly, I missed the great opportunity
Oh No Offredo
or
Offredo Where Did You Go
Heh, mine's no great pun, but I like it
Aly’s Cats. Very cool, very heyyyy.
Most of the ones I like from others have already been named.
If there ever were any doubt, there is none now...
“Henao, Henao don’t dream it’s Omloop” was the funniest,
but surely
Sependipity
must take the award for best team name
Absolutely!
Brilliant name, backed up with a podium sweep led by some guy called Sep.

I started counting points about 50km out
With Devenyns and Breschel looking good (to me).
Donut. Sigh.

Ugh. Painful.
And I apologize, I think having reread the original post I may have inadvertently tried to demote you from already winning the unofficial team name prize…. I was remembering it as a list of contenders.
Don't be daft
The right lady won.
Also, you are top of my list of most similar VDS teams – though I don’t appear on yours. So I figure you can treat me with as much contempt as you want!

Yes, I noticed that - we have 8 in common.
You get major kudos for Poels, who is on all the cool kids’ teams.
But I like Browny's name better :)
Lets share our prize, ok Browny? What is our prize anyway?

Browny's was the one that made me literally lol.
Although I must admit that I am too old and my back is too stiff to rofl these days.
The "PMSL/PML" Facebook Awareness group actually has me almost PMSL-ing.
It’s funny because it’s true.
Yes, I’m looking at you, Alexandra.
That's brilliant
“This person is a liar, possibly sent by Satan.”
I was amused. Though I remained seated, and continent, throughout the video.

Hmm...
Given the way yours came true, and my total inability to pun in Flemish, I feel like I’m taking unfair advantage. But sure – let’s share whatever it is!
