One for Andy!!

Thor Hushovd, the mighty cyclist from Norway and green jersey winner at the Tour de France 2005 won the Gent-Wevelgem race this week, outsprinting the likes of Petacchi and winning by inches.

I see the Norse flag waving in Montana and know Andy is wild with pride for his countryman. After extensive language training by Andy I can actually say Thor's name about half right but on a happy day like this it doesn't matter, I can just call him the winner.

It is quite a feat to win a spring classic race, the best in the world line up and nobody knows who's going to be at the pointy end of the race at the finish. Thor isn't the best sprinter in the world and for him to beat Petacchi is a real feat of racing.

Here's to Norway! Here's to Andy!

May you too finish the race you are running well.
