It's Kenyick, trust me yissa.
But never mind that, Manx national road race result just in: Kennaugh beats Cav in thrilling race, apparently they let some UK riders take part this year, but none of them could manage better than 3rd
"over here" it's Ken-yuck or Ken-yack depending on your Manx-ness, Fella....
No matter how you pronounce Kennaugh's name, it's spelled incorrectly on the front page headline
Edit: And now it isn't
i think it's 'Peter'. but I could be wrong.
As I said to my daughter (who asked why my bike is white) - White bikes are faster than black ones.
'hashtagy' 'Paintdoping'
And well done to Lizzie too. Did anyone else see her wave to the photographers as she went past?
well Luke Rowe seems to call him Pedro. so maybe the t is silent
but great win for Lizzie, how much power did she have going up Michaelgate to do it in the big ring, and just blow the rest completely away
Yeah, that attack was phenomenal. Noticed she "took it easy" (read: would still have been able to go up it twice in the time I could manage it) on the ascent to the finish in the inner ring.

Presumably she didn't put both hands in the air after she crossed the finish line?
High proportion of Manx names begin with a hard C. Cavendish. Kelly (from the Isle of Man song). Christian (Fletcher) Quayle etc. Wikipedia has an interesting entry.
Yes, well done Lizzie and Peter, let's celebrate with a discussion about how to pronounce your name....
You're right of course, the internet is no place for that sort of free flowing, tangential conversation.
Two wonderfully entertaining races and IMHO both were worthy winners.
It should be pronounced the way that Peter Kennaugh pronounces it.
Spelled "Kennaugh". Pronounced " Kenniack" - or so I am given to understand.
It looks like an Irish name (or Manx, they spoke a form of Gaelic similar to Scottish and Irish Gaelic after all) so the 'gh' at the end of it should perhaps be pronounced with a palatal sound, the sort that sounds like you're going to spit.
