Unlike guys like Amdi Pedersen, Breiner Pedersen, and Søjberg Pedersen, his name is Just Pedersen, but not just Pedersen, like Mads Pedersen.
There are too many Pedersens!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I'm quite sure his middle name is 'American'.

Someone should still check his Ceriel number to make sure there's no funny business going on.

Read as "Cereal Disease"
Sounds tough for the rural environment if he comes around about the sowing season with risk of upcoming disasters to the local farmers for the harvest season.

Hardly an activity...
