Counting to six is not exactly Maths. I can do that...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Hardly an activity...

Bravo!

I think it was sex that the other poster meant.

 

[RedheadDane]

Bravo!

Yeah, but that's not what the word means.
@Anderis needs to get his mind out of the gutter.

 

[Anderis]

Not sure what you're all implying. I said I wondered what his favourite activity was. The rest was all your ideas, not mine.

Oh, you meant his favourite activity is just writing 6 everywhere?

 

[Anderis]

Oh, you meant his favourite activity is just writing 6 everywhere?

No, that's what you meant.

If I knew what the activity was, I wouldn't need to wonder about it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, but that's not what the word means.

I don't think the word "sekse" appears in any modern Danish dictionaries. You will be able find it in a Dutch one though, and it doesn't mean six in that particular language.

It does in Norwegian.
The nationality of the rider in question.

No...? The last e is not there.

Maybe you should have spend more time at Norwegian airfields as a child rather than Swedish ones

I went to Google Translate and selected Norwegian to English.
Then I typed in "sekse", and got "six".

That doesn't sound like the soundest methodology, does it?* You'll get the same result if you did it from Danish to English...

6 (tall) – Wikipedia

no.wikipedia.org

*Says the guy who proves his point using Wikipedia.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

I assume that you are all talking about the Norwegian village 75 km ESE from Bergen.

Maybe an old fashioned spelling, then, I just used the method available, which usually works just fine for single words. Not like I have a whole lot of Norwegian-to-English dictionaries. To be fair, not like I have a whole lot of Danish-to-English dictionaries either, just one.

Meanwhile, I was doing some research, and came across this...

Anne Kiers

Anne Kiers (born 2004-06-02) is a former professional road racing cyclist from Netherlands, active between 2022 and 2022.

Looks fairly normal, until you realise it's a guy.

Will he ever race Joan Bou and Nicola Conci?

 

[RedheadDane]

Will he ever race Joan Bou and Nicola Conci?

Or Simone Consonni.

Maybe it's just the Dutch being weird...

 

[RedheadDane]

Sort of cool names, definitely cool name-combo!

I just wanna point out that, as far as things are looking right now, Tudor will be bringing both Alexander Kamp and Alexander Krieger to the Giro.

They're never going to beat Androni in the Bertolini, Bertagnolli and Bertogliati days.

 

[RedheadDane]

They're never going to beat Androni in the Bertolini, Bertagnolli and Bertogliati days.

What do those names mean?

To clarify; 'Kamp' means fight/battle, while I'm pretty sure 'Krieger' means warrior.

 

[Anderis]

What do those names mean?

The coolness of all the Bertagnollignolattoragnolittinis of Androni was not about their meaning but about their sounds.

 

[RedheadDane]

The coolness of all the Bertagnollignolattoragnolittinis of Androni was not about their meaning but about their sounds.

1. That's not their actual name!

2. The whole point about the coolness of the Kamp-Krieger combo is that it's about the meanings of their name.
And that they share their first name with a famous warrior king of old.
