[edit] Correct name

His name is not Magnus Bäckstedt, it's Backstedt, without the umlaut. He says so in his official website, both in his profile and in the copyright notice. -- 83.34.187.103 10:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

His site also says Linkoping, not Linköping, so I don't think it is authoritative. There are also a number of small errors on his website. The Danish Cycling Union page does use umlauts. I'm not sure what is right, but his website is an unreliable source. Mk3severo 19:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you know the site of the Swedish cycling union? -- Danilot 20:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I tried to find something official from the Swedish side of things but couldn't, which leaves us a bit in the dark! Mk3severo 21:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

The Swedish cycling federation (http://www.scf.se/t3.asp?p=59520&x=1&a=110794) gives his name as Bäckstedt. Suppose this means a revert then. -- Danilot 11:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
