Thor!

From Eurosport's live coverage of today's stage of the Dauphiné Liberé between Aix-les-Bains and Givors

2 km THE PELOTON IS BACK TOGETHER!!! ALL THE SIX MEN HAVE BEEN ENGULFED!!

1 km The sprinters get ready for the final assault...

0 km And it's a victory for Credit Agricole's Norwegian giant Thor Hushovd! A great name, a great rider, a great victory!

16:11 Sean Donohoo, from Italy, sent in his coolest name nomination just before the finish: "I've got to go with Thor Hushovd. Anyone named "Thor" has got to be a bad-ass." A bad-ass he is, and also one hell of a powerful sprinter! The Credit Agricole man has taken this 224 km first stage from Aix-les-Bains to Givors, and taken it with some performance. His team timed their assault on the six leaders with perfection, catching the men with two clicks to go before leading in their Norwegian trophy hunter to the kill.

Thor!
