Teams & Riders Matteo Jorgenson and his inexorable rise to the top

Not spelling-wise.

How most people in Norway and Sweden would pronounce the name though. "Mang-nus".

I'm shaken to my core!

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm shaken to my core!

That settles it!
We can't trust those people...

Only delinquents. Proper people don’t mangle Magnus with a superfluous n.

 

[Salvarani]

Im Swedish and know for certain that is how the name is pronounced.

May not make sense to you but that is just how it is.

 

[Potomac]

He should just change his name to Cholmondeley so we don't have worry about how to say it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Or Art Vandelay.

The question was about how it's pronounced in Norwegian.
But I'll ammend my earlier claim; it's only Swedes that can't be trusted!

Anyway... back to Matteo!
Do we know if he pronounces his first name in the Italian way, or a more Americanized way?

Yes, Squire said how it is in Norwegian. I added more context and said that is how Swedes pronounces the name as well. It is quite a common name for men born in the 1960-1970s, especially.

I am not surprised that a Dane wouldnt understand this.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes, Squire said how it is in Norwegian. I added more context and said that is how Swedes pronounces the name as well.

And then laarsland corrected you and said that's not how a Norwegian would pronounce it.

 

[Salvarani]

And then laarsland corrected you and said that's not how a Norwegian would pronounce it.

I only went with what Squire say about the Norwegian part and added said context about how Swedes pronounces it that way as well. Keep up.

I responded to laarsland that as a Swede I know for a fact that is how people pronounce it.

As said, you can feel it doesnt make sense but it is how it is.

Yes. People who can't be trusted.

 

[Salvarani]

Yes. People who can't be trusted.

Thats Danes reputation tbh.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nah, only those named Hansen, so about 94.36% of us.

 

[Salvarani]

Nah, only those named Hansen, so about 94.36% of us.

Especially redhead ones.

 

[RedheadDane]

Especially redhead ones.

Do you have much experience with redheaded Danes named 'Hansen'?

@Armchair Cyclist, maybe you could move the entire pronouncitaion and untrustworthyness discussion starting with the strange way of pronouncing 'Magnus' to a seperate that named "Why Swedes - and Some Norwegians - Can't Be Trusted"

It is Danes who seems to derail threads and having to have discussions removed about off-topic stuff.

Maybe that would be a more fitting title

Or just rename this thread The Pronunciaton and Etymology Thread - the first few pages it was also the only thing that was discussed.

They can say whatever they want. There is no chance Vingegaard will give Matteo a GC win in PN.

They both say before the race that they'll start as co-captains and that the goal is for the team to win, not specifically Vingegaard.

I will wait to see. I will apologise here if he lets Matteo win.

 

[Froome]

Yes he will, just like he let Kuss win the Vuelta.

 

[AmRacer]

Yes he will, just like he let Kuss win the Vuelta.

It depends on what Roglic can do, has he improved 🤔

"It's good to have a two-time Tour winner as your domestique."

"It's a joke."

Or is it???

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I think the road will decide. Vingo says he's willing to work for Matteo if he proves to be the strongest, which is a strong condition. If Vingo is the strongest then Matteo should work for him ofc. If both are equally strong then it could get interesting and maybe, just maybe, Vingo will let Matteo win then.

Sounds he's going to test him like Hinault did with LeMond.

Oh no, Salv, what are you doing to me?? Now I'm always going to look at that name and think "Mang-Nuts"
