Unlike last year, with several slow rounds while Lance Armstrong waved to the crowd, this year was full speed from the start. Each lap taking approx 1 min it was fast! Race went on for 1 hour, then 5 more laps. Thor Hushovd tried a break away several laps before the finish, as he was uncertain about his sprint form and feared Edvald (who has beaten him several times during this years Tour de France). But he was reeled in and Andy Schleck and Edvald did a counter attack just two laps from the finish...let's just say, Andy never had a chance! Congratulations Edvald!

No one could beat the man with the yellow shoes

Better luck next time Thor!
