Without the great work of the Spanish team, Thor Hushovd wouldn't had a chance, so: thanx to the Spanish as well!!! :) And please... Cavendish?!? He's a great sprinter, yes. No, he's a fantastic sprinter. But even he himself admitted that he wouldn't be able to get to the finish, so for this race which purpose is to claim the best bike-rider in the world, Thor was - and stil is - THE MAN!
Im Norwegian. The reason Hushovd won is not only because hes a good sprinter but also because hes tactical. But I think if Mark Cavendish was in that sprint he would beaten Hushovd pretty easy. Nobody can win over Cavendish in a sprint.
@davidlankenau Boring? Hushovd goes for the break, he makes things happen. How often do you see riders in the points competition alone over 1. cat climbs? The Manx missile throws tantrums, sulks and sits on wheels all day, then jumps 150 ms from the line - that's boring.
Most boring rider in the field? Pippo Pozzato. Dandy wheelsucker.

@richter75 At least they managed to get the catch of Phillipe Gilbert. The commentators I listened to thought he was still in front with 1km to go.

Gotta hand it to the big God of Thunder, for hanging on over all those climbs. He weighs 180 lb.
