Norwegian rider Thor Hushovd is aiming at victory when he practically races on home turf today on the Tour de France’s 196.5 kilometre stage from Cap d'Agde to Perpignan. The tall Cervélo Test Team rider lived in the region when he was still with Crédit Agricole, and moved to Monaco three years ago.
