theyoungest said:Yes, if we're talking about best cyclists names ever, although not Dutch, the winner remains Ryan Ariehaan.
Spoken Dutch is reportedly quite hard to follow though. But as a cycling fan I assume you´ve had ample training.
The thing is that it's not a world language like for example English or Spanish. There would be no need for it unless you live in or do business with the Netherlands, Belgium, the Antilles - only in school and politics - and Suriname (?).
However, I can understand that as a cycling fan it would be advantageous to know the language due to the many (semi) classics held in Belgium - mostly.
