I started to see this nickname referring to Petacchi after the Giro.

Is it a self-made moniker or one RBR transmuted to the brains of
Cyclingnews.com?

This is really bugging me on the Day Off.

I think it was the Italian media who came up with it.

ObRBRBonus -- Lance in yellow after tomorrow's rolling Alpen stage so
he can start pole-position on L'Alpe Wednesday and not embarrass the
maillot jaune by passing it.

que? If LA is not in yellow after tomorrow, he will not be able to pass TiVo
in the TT unless TiVo/TiTi/TiBlanc catches him first. I made up TiVo but not
the other two.

I'm guessing a class of 12-year olds held a Petacchi surname contest, and
the winning entry was bestowed upon us.
Has anybody here been caught reiterating that name in all seriousness?
