Right now it says at least 100 races or 3000 points are needed for riders to have access to a nickname, I think that should change?
Should be the palmares instead of the number of races?

The idea was that riders can also become famous or popular (and deserve a nickname) when they ride lots of races without personal success. For example, there have been some legendary domestiques.

But those criteria can be discussed of course.

Yes, what makes cyclists more popular are their achievements more than their number of races.
