Paris Roubaix is always  l'enfer du Nord for me.

O'Grady answers to 'Freckle', or used to! Greg Lemond was 'Jack', as in Jack Lemmon.

Races and nicknames listed in no particular order

RaceNickname
Milan - San RemoLa Classicissima ("The Classic of Classics")
The Tour of FlandersFlanders' Finest, Beautiful Flanders ("Vlaanderens Mooiste")
Paris - RoubaixThe Hell of the North ("L'Enfer du Nord")
Liège - Bastogne - LiègeLa Doyenne ("The Granddaddy")
Giro d ItaliaLa Corsa Rosa ("The Pink Course")
Giro di LombardiaThe Classic of the Falling Leaves ("La classica delle foglie morte")
Le Tour de FranceLe Grand Boucle
Paris - NiceThe Race to the Sun ("La Course au Soleil")
The Amstel Gold RaceThe Race to the Beer
Volta a Catalunya The Magical Mystery Tour
Dreidaagse de Panne Three Days of Pain
The Tour of BritainThe Tour of England
The Tour of CaliforniaThe 4th Grand Tour

Nice list. But I never got used to the Hell of the North. In Francophony, we are used to Paris-Roubaix being the Queen of the Classics.

It also got a third nick: The Easter Race (La Pascale) but I don't like it either.

Milab-Sanremo also has La Primavera. Lombardy is rather the Classic of the Dead Leaves and Paris-Tours, of the Falling Leaves, even though now with the change in the calendar, it might be the other way round.  ;)

Oh and Tirreno Adriatico, the Race of the Two Seas and Paris-Brussels, the Classic of the Two Capital Cities.

Alberto = Berto. Bertie is too English for my liking.

@Hitch - Flecha was called Pijl because that is translation of his name into dutch. And they basically made the spanish parts of his name into dutch.

So Juan Antonia Flecha becomes:
Jan Anton Pijl

i knew that . did i ask that question somewhere :-[ ?
