Thor still in green
Yesterday Thor Hushovd of the Cervelo Test Team took the green jersey. Today he was able to hold it.
Tomorrow is a rest day and then on Tuesday they have some flatter sprinter stages before hitting the Alps.
I hope he and his team are able to keep it together so he keeps it for the rest of the tour. It would be cool for Sastre to get up in the GC and take yellow (that would be a surprise as almost everyone in the Astana squad is ahead of him).
Cavendish is the true competitor for Thor's green jersey. He is the fastest sprinter, but Thor has better climbing legs and was able to grab points the last two stages.
