Credit Agricole sprinter Thor Hushovd finished 14th today at 9 seconds, and is hoping that tomorrow's first stage ends in a bunch sprint. "I'm happy with my performance, I didn't finish very far behind the best specialists," he told Cyclingnews' Jean-Francois Quenet in Annecy. "Now I hope for a bunch sprint tomorrow, then everything can happen. My form is very satisfying these days."
