New GC candidate emerges akaThor Hushovd appreciation thread.

[The Hitch]

Where has this thread been.

Thunder God to win the Tour.

 

[Parrulo]

i have been saying it since stage 4. check it yourself

serious business here.

 

[ingsve]

We all knew from previous Tours that Hushovd can climb so now that Wiggins is out of the way the road to a Tour win is wide open for Thor.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Haha...the "Beast of a Man" as PS always says has found himself. He is putting it to JV by keeping the maillot jaune...

Love to see Thor in the limelight!

 

[El Pistolero]

Nah, Thor said he can climb so well because he's been training with Phil. So obviously the god of thunder will only finish second.

pistolero!!!!!! you are alive!!!!

As much as I would love to see Thor in yellow at the end of the tour - he would need to loose about 7-8 kilos and get a team who could put the hammer down for him in the real mountains.

Besides - JV is still after stage wins. Well, and the latest - Tommy D for GC.

 

[Cobblestones]

Clearly, since JV doesn't want him to go for green, he goes for yellow instead.

because all thor needs to do is lose 15lbs and get a proper gc team.. lol at serious response to joke of a thread.. err wait, did i just get trolled..

 

[VeloGirl]

*sigh* No. You did not just get trolled.

 

[theyoungest]

The guy wasn't called Tour Hushovd for nothing.

 

[Anonymous]

He will ride gonzo in the 2nd and 3rd week, no doubt that he will be in the podium come Paris.

Thor Hushovd: Garmin's GC revelation at the Tour in 2011

 

[spanky wanderlust]

greatest thread ever!

thanks, hitch.

was just having fun with this today. imagining all the predictions that 'yes, obviously this stage to luz ardiden will be the day hushovd finally gives up yellow, having only one second on bona fide gc candidate cadel evans.' and ending the day with everyone remarking on the amazing and unexpected jersey defense by the big man.

repeat every day for two weeks.

and the itt? 'well, this will finally be the day thor hushovd gives up the jersey, as he sits only one second in front of the second placed rider and the long itt is not his specialty.' only to have him miraculously defend once again!

in the end, the god of thunder will carry his slim margin all the way to the champs elysee, winning the tour by one second over his second placed rival.

Not just winning the tour - but because he was up there in every finish the Green as well - he also become Garmin sprinter because Tyler dropped out so on the champs Elysee Julian Dean drops hit of with 100m to go and because he has lost so much weight his Power to weight ratio is up and he beats Cav to take the finial stage , Yellow and Green.

PS he may lose it today............ to the break

 

[Sophistic]

too bad there was no prologue this year as he is putting some crazy watts out there on these climbs and probably could have challenged Hypocratacus in a short ITT.

 

[dbrmuz]

Pff.He actually crossed the line 3 seconds later than Cadel.Cadel should be in yellow!

Pfffff for real? Get a grip of yourself, this is ridiculous! Hushovd will have atleast 3 minutes on the nr.2 for sure.

 

[jens_attacks]

yes.this i would like to happen.hushovd will come back on the tourmalet descent with andy and contador and then crazy shiit happens,he cracks both of them and arrives first on luz ardiden.damn that would be awesome.but not more awesome than thor hushovd climbing alpe d'huez in 35 minutes.

 

[Benedict XVI]

Doesn't he look like he lost quite a bit of weight on this pic?

He looks so.. hm.. dry.
2 more days of the same diet and the guy will turn into an awesome climber with all the power he packs in his legs.

Could also be the JV not allowing him to eat so he cracks and Garmin can get back onto the program of getting CVV,TD or Ryder in the top 10 then it will be a great Tour rather than having 2 stage wins, Possible green and Yellow for 9 stages that would be stupid

ROFL

I love Thor. He is awesome.

 

[hrotha]

Is he crying rainbow tears?
