The first thing Hushovd said when he signed for Garmin was that he wouldn't be doing leadouts.ingsve said:I don't think that's remotely true. You could see in the vuelta a few times that Hushovd helped Theo Bos to get in position before some sprints that he himself didn't contest and on certain occasions in classics he encouraged Haussler to attack and go for his own results eventhough Hushovd was in the same group.
When he thinks he has a shot at winning then of course he will expect to have support but when he himself is not interested in a perticular race I haven't seen anything to suggest that he is above helping his teammates.
