Although to be honest, this is how the Scandinavian countries reached the level of progress and development they have: by following the rules.

But the "rules" of racing are (grossly simplified): Go as fast as possible!

Appearently Mark Cavendish won a sprint in Oslo where the speed limit is 30km. I think he was up to 70km or something. I think that is in the area of a mandatory prison sentence.

Knowing the norwegians pretty well, then I´m not even surprised.
And they seriously mean it, not even half a joke!

Norway still has 80kmh speed limit on the motorway right?

Well actually it's 100 or 90 these days depending on the road, but it's still not legal to buy beer in the supermarket after 8 pm even if the shop should close at 11 pm. If you are in the supermarket after 8 pm the beer is covered in blankets...

Right, let's have the riders dash dangerously through the city and run over a granny or sth... what will you say then??

Granny or sth is not supposed to be on the road when there's a race, silly!

Isn't that just because it takes 3 hours to count out the right amount of money to buy a beer in Norway?
