Nigel Farage (UKIP)
Nigel Farage (UKIP)
Love or loathe him, Farage is a magnetic figure – he’s managed to create a lot of noise and have some high-profile successes despite spending his whole career being the leader of one of the smaller parties. Not likely to win the general election, but certainly strong enough to ruffle some feathers along the way.
Farage is closest to Thomas Voeckler. The French rider’s combative style means he has soloed his way to a number of impressive victories, despite riding for the second tier Europcar team for most of his career – anyone remember his eight courageous days in yellow at the 2012 Tour. This is to say nothing of both Thomas and Nigel’s proclivity for pulling strange faces on camera. They even both have unpronounceable names! Is it ‘fah-ridge’ or ‘fuh-rardge’, ‘voke-ler’ or ‘vock-lair?
