Quote :"He is also the first Norwegian to win the yellow jersey thrice in the Tour de France — a feat he achieved after stage two of the 2004 and the first and last stages of the 2006 Tour de France".
No way 8D In 2006, he won the last stage but certainly not the yellow Jersey . --

Where is the pictures, and how can you compare a stage victory in TdF and the Vuelta and a classic with a norwegian championship?!?!?!?? Are you stupid or something?!?! Lillebo88
Firstly, please read
WP:NPA and
WP:AGF. It is subjective whether National championships should count towards Major victories, and I personally think it depends on the rider. For a rider who has limited palmares such as Hushovd (namely six Grand Tour stages, 2 points competitions from Grand Tours and one one-day ProTour victory, which was not a monument but a semi-classic), then I don't see what harm it is to add them. If you disagree, whether in just this particular case or more generally, then try to build consensus. As it is, your opinion is no better than mine! With regards the picture, yes I did accidentally edit it out and it is now back in. Don't hesitate to
Be Bold and put something right if you see something gone awry - but always remember to use
edit summaries. Lastly, please follow
WP:SIG in signing your posts. Regards,

I think we should let the text about 2006 stand until the summer/autumn of 2007, and then we erase it. because it not much to tell about hushovds season so far.
lillebo88
Didnt he win a stage in the 2004 criterium de dauphin libere?

I am sure someone at
WP:RD/L could come up with a more detailed answer, but there's definitely no "sh"-sound like in English "hush", and HOOS-hovd is a better approximation than HOO-shovd. Regards, decltype (

I'm Norwegian, and I can confirm that we have a "sh"-sound, but we write "sj" instead. Like in
dusj which means a
shower. But back to the point here, Hushovd is made up of two syllables: "
Hus" which means a
house, and "hovd" which I don't actually know what means... Therefore you don't have the "sh"-sound, the second "h" sounds absent when pronounced anyway. So a better way to write the pronunciation for an Englishman to relate to it, would be: "Who's–hovd"...

A "hovd" is a rock or a small mountain-top. It originates from the word "hofuð" which means "head". Indeed, the Norwegian word for head, "hode" is similar, and in
Norwegian Nynorsk even more so ("hovud"). So "Hushovd" means something like "a small mountain-top with a house". decltype (

I thought it meant something like that, but since I wasn't sure I refrained from writing it. I actually tried searching the word on google, and checked two norwegian dictionaries, without any luck. Are you a linguist or similar, Decltype?
