Bye, bye Hushovd

It took a few years for the Norwegians to get a homeland rider on the front of the Scandinavian cover - and it now appears that they are going to have to wait at least one more year.

Due to licensing issues, the Scandinavian publisher, Nordic Game Supply, has decided to replace the image of Hushovd with a different one featuring Alberto Contador in his Saxo Bank jersey.

Life is tough when you're from Norway.

"Life is tough when you're from Norway", you mean Denmark?

This is outrageous! I don't want a spaniard (nothing wrong with them by the way) on the front cover of the SCANDINAVIAN version. It shuld be a scandinavian rider, and since Hushovd is in fact the reigning WC it is a MUST that he is presented on the cover. *shaking my head in dissapointment*

Replace on of the modest and fair rider with Contador? Good one, i must say...

#4 | FreitasPCM on 25. May 2011 14:14

Why Contador? I'm not going to buy that version, but I don't think it's nice to have a doped (at least, accused of being) rider in the front cover.... Why not Nick Nuyens. Or Larsson?

#5 | Christer on 25. May 2011 14:50

It is the Scandinavian version. Therefore, I think a Scandinavian rider should be present on the cover.

#6 | Raben on 25. May 2011 14:57

Why Denmark, Montolivo?

#7 | Johan92 on 25. May 2011 15:00

We have oil.

#9 | Johan92 on 25. May 2011 15:20

... and Denmark have oil!

#10 | Crommy on 25. May 2011 15:22

Times are about to get tougher for Denmark: http://www.bbc.co...e-13536479

207 comments? Really? I guess there's a lot of unemployed people Britain.

#12 | Sykkel_Freak on 25. May 2011 16:17

Thor Hushovd was infact on the frontcover of PCM06. Which means we stopped waiting then.

#13 | CrueTrue on 25. May 2011 16:27

I know he was, but that is, after all, quite many years ago

#14 | Sykkel_Freak on 25. May 2011 16:29

Feels like it was yesterday to me.

#15 | Rauling on 25. May 2011 16:47

A great advice for Norway, Johan - never let a minister negotiate the oil of your country under the influence of alcohol!

#16 | Waghlon on 25. May 2011 19:07

Its going to be hilarious when they change the cover again once Contador is banned

Also, give us back our god damn oil you norweigan freaks!

#17 | HansiBoyo on 25. May 2011 19:49

08: Schleck, Cancellara, Savoldelli
09: O'Grady (I think) & Schleck
10: Cancellara

I actually don't remember a scandinavian rider on the front cover.

#18 | CrueTrue on 25. May 2011 20:49

#15: There are two problems with your comments.

1) If you had read my link, you'd know that Denmark is self-providing when it comes to oil.

2) The myth about Per Hækkerup negotiating with Norway under influence of alcohol is that - a myth.

1 + 2) Something that has been made fun of for many years which is exactly the same thing I am doing.
Your link isn't relevant to that context

#20 | hillis91 on 26. May 2011 03:56

05 & 06 = Hushovd

#21 | R_Funk on 26. May 2011 07:07

If you are from Norway and want a picture of Hushovd, I suggest Google

#22 | amouth on 28. May 2011 15:18

fuck Contador! I want Hushovd

#23 | callumcross on 05. June 2011 06:35

erm ... why not Eddy Boasson-Hagen (sorry if mis-spelt) hes is, in my opinion the best Norwegian rider there is.

#24 | Apen on 06. August 2011 04:15

Actually, Hushovd has been on the PCM cover twice...
In 2006 and in 2010:

Hushovd also appeared on an Norwegian edition of the game:
