Who are the Sufferfest cast of characters?

I have been trying more sufferfest workouts lately, and really enjoy the sense of humour of the creative department. Did Suff Idol on Friday, and the amusement definitely eased the suffering.

Out of curiosity, who are following cast of characters (and I am sure there are more since I have not done all the workouts):

  • The Boss
  • The Shark
  • The Tractor
  • Butter boy
  • Fireball
  • The limecycle
  • Others to be discovered.

The Boss and The tracktor are from Suff Idol.
The Shark, Limecycle and Fireball are from A very Dark Place (I think)… the one on the Giro de Italia.
Butter Boy is from Butter but also makes a debut in Suff Idol.

Isn’t ButterBow Wout Van Aert?

Well at least in Cobbler WvA appears as Wout van Hurt. But maybe that’s just a cameo.

The Boss is Edvald Boasson Hagen. Like the Shark and the Tractor those are “real life” nicknames for those riders, while the others are just used in Sufferlandria.

Butter Boy is Wout, but I feel like Sep Vanmarcke also gets called that in a different video? I could be wrong, as false / missing memories tends to happen above threshold.

Butter Boy is WVA only in The Cobbler, but not in the Butter workout which was made a few years before that and WVA doesn’t feature in at all.

A couple of different riders get called Butter Boy in Butter I believe.

Outrageous!!! It is ride No1 on my Knighthood Quest simply because it is the longest qualifying workout (and is so very aptly titled) :face_with_monocle:
