RESULTS
1. Thor Hushovd - Garmin-Cervelo    (3h 47min 36secs)
2. David Moncoutie - Cofidis    (+10)
3. Jeremy Roy - FDJ    (+26)

6. Edvald Boasson Hagen - Team Sky       (+5min 03secs)

Thor Hushovd attacked on the Col d'Aubisque before chasing down Jeremy Roy to take a memorable solo victory in Lourdes on stage 13 of the Tour de France. Edvald Boasson Hagen made the break and claimed sixth for Team Sky while Thomas Voeckler comfortably maintained the yellow jersey ahead of a pivotal mountain test on Saturday.

Simon Gerrans, Team Sky Rider:

"Today both myself and Edvald has been told to try and get in the breakaway because this was the first real stage where everyone expected it to survive until the finish. We did everything we could to get in the move and that meant covering as many attacks as possible until it got away.

"It was a really hard start to the day because every team had the same idea. There were constant attacks during the first 55km. Fortunately though Edvald had the legs just at the right time and was able to get in there.

"He gave it everything he had on the Col d'Aubisque but just couldn't stay with Thor Hushovd and Jeremy Roy when they made their move. You have to hand it to Thor today he rode an amazing ride and fully deserved his win.

"Once the break had gone it was just a matter of conserving my energy for the coming days and finishing inside the time limit. We all appreciated the chance to relax after a hard day yesterday."


Sean Yates, Team Sky Sports Director:

"Thor's on fire. He's the last person you would have thought would win the stage today. He was obviously feeing good when he jumped away at the bottom of the Aubisque but I doubt that when he was caught by Moncoutie that he dreamt he would end up winning.

"We had Edvald in the break. The start went so quick today that the break didn't end up gong instantly but we'd made our minds up that we wanted either him or Simon in the break and it took a lot of effort. So that took the edge off Edvald I think and compromised his chances.

"But it's either you gamble and try later or go. But if you miss the move then you're nowhere. It's just one of those things but Edvald did what he could.

"It was great team work by the guys to be across every single move but at the end of the day Thor was stronger. It's just one of those things.

"For everyone else it was just about keeping cool and out of trouble. That was always going to be the case for the GC men."
