Thor Hushovd (born 18 January 1978) is a Norwegian former professional road bicycle racer.{{cite news |title=World champion Thor Hushovd signs three-year deal with BMC Racing Team |url=http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/9348/World-champion-Thor-Hushovd-signs-three-year-deal-with-BMC-Racing-Team.aspx |date=9 August 2011 |work=VeloNation |publisher=VeloNation LLC |access-date=1 January 2012}} He is known for sprinting and time trialing; Hushovd is a three-time Norwegian national road race champion (2004, 2010, 2013),{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingarchives.com/wedstrijdfiche.php?wedstrijdid=3192 |title=National Championship, Road, Elite, Norway |access-date=6 April 2015 |work=Cycling Archives}} and was the winner of the 2010 World Road Race Championships. He was the first Norwegian to lead the Tour de France, and first Scandinavian to win the road race in cycling world road championship. He is also the Scandinavian with the most stage wins in Grand Tours. He is widely considered the greatest Norwegian cyclist of all time. He retired in September 2014.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/gallery-thor-hushovds-career-in-photos |title=Gallery: Thor Hushovd's career in photos |website=Cyclingnews.com|date=20 September 2014 |access-date=20 September 2014}}

Career

Born in Grimstad, Aust-Agder, Norway, Thor won the under-23 time trial world championship and the under-23 versions of Paris–Roubaix and Paris–Tours before turning professional in 1998. He was Norwegian time trial champion in 2004 and 2005 and road race champion in 2004 and 2010. In 2006, he won seven UCI ProTour races and two stages of the Tour de France. He won the prologue in Strasbourg and led after the first day despite a cut arm. He continued with stitches and regained the yellow jersey after stage 2 with a third place. He won the last stage, beating Robbie McEwen in a sprint, thus making him the only person to win the first stage or prologue and the last stage of the Tour de France in the same year. In the 2006 Vuelta a España he won stage 6, wore the golden jersey for three stages and won the points classification

At the 2008 Tour de France, Hushovd won stage 2 in a bunch finish.[http://www.aftenposten.no/english/sports/article2526092.ece Hushovd happy after Tour de France win], Aftenposten 7 July 2008

=2009=

In 2009, Hushovd rode for the {{UCI team code|CTT|2009}}.[http://velonews.competitor.com/2008/09/road/thor-hushovd-has-signed-with-the-new-cervelo-testteam_82949 "Thor Hushovd has signed with the new Cervelo TestTeam" (9 Sep. 2008) VeloNews.com]. Retrieved 10 March 2010 He took one of the team's first victories of the season by winning Stage 3 of the Tour of California. At the Tour de France, he won green jersey for the points classification for the second time, ahead of Mark Cavendish. Typically the sprinter with the most stage victories wins the points classification, though Thor only won one stage, stage 6, while Cavendish won six. After a controversy on stage 14, where Cavendish was relegated to the back of the peloton for impeding Hushovd, Hushovd attacked alone on stage 17, a mountain stage, winning two intermediate sprints.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/cycling/8168151.stm |title=Embarrassed Cavendish apologises for outburst |publisher=BBC Sport |date=24 July 2009 |access-date=25 July 2009}}{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/hushovd-attacks-solo-for-green-jersey-respect |title=Hushovd attacks solo for green jersey respect |author=Gregor Brown |work=Cycling News |date=23 July 2009 |access-date=26 July 2009}} Hushovd won stage 3 at the Tour of Missouri – {{convert|114|mi|km|abbr=on}} over rolling hills – in September 2009, in a sprint finish.

On 9 May 2010, Hushovd broke his collarbone on a training ride after colliding with a young girl.[http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/05/news/hushovd-sidelined-with-broken-collarbone_115218 Hushovd sidelined with broken collarbone] VeloNews. At the Tour de France, Hushovd won the third stage, which was an unusual one for the Tour since it featured {{convert|13|km|abbr=on}} of cobblestones. He prevailed in the sprint involving five other riders.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/cycling/8794302.stm |title=Tour de France: Hushovd wins but Thomas into second |publisher=BBC Sport |date=6 July 2010 |access-date=28 November 2012 }} That victory netted him the Green jersey, but he ultimately lost it to Alessandro Petacchi of the {{UCI team code|LAM|2010}} team.

On 3 October 2010, Thor won the road world championship, which started in Melbourne and finished in Geelong, Australia. He was the first Norwegian to win the rainbow jersey.[http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/10/news/thor-hushovd-wins-world-road-racing-title_144387 "Thor Hushovd wins world road racing title" (3 Oct. 2010) VeloNews.com].

VeloNews said: "Hushovd...dominated a bunch sprint at the end of a thrilling 267 km race, beating Denmark's Matti Breschel and Australia's Allan Davis." The favorite, Philippe Gilbert, was caught with three kilometers to go.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/501751/thor-hushovd-wins-the-rainbow-jersey-for-norway.html |title=Thor Hushovd wins the rainbow jersey for Norway |date=3 October 2010 |work=Cycling Weekly |access-date=4 October 2010}}

=2011=

During the 2011 Tour de France Hushovd took the lead in the general classification and surprised many by keeping it through several hilly stages that were not expected to suit him and second placed Cadel Evans could not over turn the 1 second advantage that Hushovd held. Thor surprised his fans again on stage 13 by being one of the first riders over the hors catégorie Col d'Aubisque and using his superior descending skills (he was clocked at 69 mph at one point) to catch and pass the leaders David Moncoutié and Jérémy Roy to take the stage. He used his descending skills again on stage 16 when he, Edvald Boasson Hagen and teammate Ryder Hesjedal went clear on the descent of the Col de Manse (a descent that overall runner up Andy Schleck deemed too dangerous for the tour) and beat Boasson Hagen in the final sprint to take his second stage of the tour.

=2012=

In 2012, Hushovd joined {{UCI team code|BMC|2012}} on a three-year contract.{{cite news |url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/08/news/hushovd-joins-new-bmc-super-team_187479 |title=Hushovd joins new BMC super team |work=VeloNews |publisher=Competitor Group, Inc. |date=9 August 2013 |access-date=17 February 2013 |author=Brian Holcombe}} Suffering from a then unknown medical condition, he had to abandon the Giro d'Italia and cancelled his scheduled participation to the Tour de France and Olympic road race.{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/cycling/9403939/London-2012-Olympics-Thor-Hushovd-ruled-out-of-Games.html |title=London 2012 Olympics: Thor Hushovd ruled out of Games |date=16 July 2012 |work=The Daily Telegraph|access-date=21 July 2012}} The medical impairment was later identified as a "virus and muscle inflammation" by team doctors.{{cite news |url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/09/news/bmc-doc-blames-virus-muscle-inflammation-for-hushovds-poor-season_237747 |title=BMC doc blames virus, muscle inflammation for Hushovd's poor season |work=Velo News |publisher=2012 Competitor Group, Inc. |date=7 September 2012 |access-date=17 October 2012}} Thor hardly achieved any notable result in the season except fourteenth at Paris–Roubaix. In October, he said that he hoped to put the bad year and the virus that ruined it behind him and that he was optimistic and motivated about the 2013 season.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/hushovd-motivated-for-future-after-lost-2012-season |title=Hushovd motivated for future after lost 2012 season |website=Cycling News|date=17 October 2012 |access-date=17 October 2012}}

=2013=

Hushovd earned his first win since the 2011 Tour of Britain with a sprint victory over Tom-Jelte Slagter of {{UCI team code|RAB|2013a}} on stage 1 of the Tour du Haut Var in February. It was also his first victory with {{UCI team code|BMC|2013}}.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-cycliste-international-du-haut-var-matin-2013/stage-1/results |title=Hushovd wins Tour du Haut Var opener |work=Cyclingnews |date=16 February 2013 |access-date=17 February 2013}}

=Retirement=

In June 2014, Hushovd announced that he would retire after the 2014 UCI Road World Championships after struggling with Infectious mononucleosis since 2012.{{cite web |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/hushovd-winner-10-tour-france-101900104--spt.html |title=Hushovd, winner of 10 Tour de France stages, quits |date=27 June 2014 |website=Yahoo!

In 2015 Thor announced that he had started working on organizing an all-Norwegian UCI WorldTeam, with a plan to launch in the 2017 season to coincide with the hosting of the 2017 UCI Road World Championships in the Norwegian city of Bergen.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-hushovd-aiming-to-create-norwegian-worldtour-team/ |title=News shorts: Hushovd aiming to create Norwegian WorldTour team |date=25 July 2015 |website=Cyclingnews.com| access-date=14 August 2015}} The plans were put on hold due to lack of funding,{{Cite news |last=Gørbitz |first=Peter Andreas Prydz |date=2016-06-23 |title=Norsk profflag satt på vent |trans-title=Norwegian pro team put on hold |url=https://www.landevei.no/proffsykling/thor-hushovd/norsk-profflag-satt-paa-vent |work=Landevei |language=Norwegian |quote=I dag annonsert [sic] Thor Hushovd på sin Instagram-profil at han har skrinlagt planene om et norsk profflag i 2017.

In the meantime, the Norwegian cycling team Uno-X was established. The team achieved UCI ProTeam status in 2020. Hushovd was initially not affiliated with Uno-X, although he used his legendary status in the world of cycling to help influence the ASO in Uno-X's mission for a Wild Card to the 2023 Tour de France.{{Cite news |last=Olsen |first=Sindre J. |date=2023-04-01 |title=Slik hjalp Hushovd Uno-X til Tour de France |trans-title=This is how Hushovd helped Uno-X to the Tour de France |url=https://www.tv2.no/sport/sykkel/slik-hjalp-hushovd-uno-x-til-tour-de-france/15401345/ |access-date=2024-04-02 |work=TV 2 Sport |language=Norwegian}} In January 2024, Uno-X announced that Hushovd would become their new General Manager.{{Cite web |date=2024-01-22 |title=Thor Hushovd becomes General Manager of Uno-X Mobility Cycling |url=https://www.unoxteam.com/news/thor-hushovd-becomes-general-manager-of-uno-x-mobility-cycling |access-date=2024-04-02 |publisher=Uno-X Mobility}}
