Some may call it racing karma, but it seems to be true that if you respect the rules of the peloton, even if reluctantly, the racing gods will smile upon you. And so it was, that a day after Fabian Cancellara lost the yellow jersey after convincing the peloton to sit up and not contest the sprint so that fallen team leaders had a chance to rejoin the bunch, he won it back after a hard day on the cobbles. Even after complaining about Fabian's decision to neutralize the sprint overnight, Thor Hushovd, led by Cancellara in the winning break, won the bunch sprint, and donned the green jersey he wanted to wear yesterday. The racing gods deemed yesterday's offering acceptable and repaid blessings upon Spartacus and the God of Thunder.
