Hushovd was penalized at the end of one of the stages for not keeping his line, as a result he was pretty much screwed for the rest of the tour. He's riding better than 83rd place but thats where they put him. Kind of sad as I saw the replays and he barely did anything to deserve such a harsh penalty. I also like huge scandianavian people... they seem kind of wholesome and you gotta give respect to a guy named THOR.
I have to give my vote to Landis to win overall (everyone else is gone now!) although I really want Cadel Evans to take it because I like aussies.
