 In the 2009 Tour de France, Hushovd won his second career green jersey, holding off the six stage wins of Mark Cavendish by virtue of a stage win of his own, a penalty assessed to Cavendish in a sprint between the two of them, and a lengthy escape on a mountain stage to claim maximum points in two intermediate sprints.The team got another stage win with Haussler in the Tour's second week.Sastre, on the other hand, had his worst Grand Tour in three years, finishing 17th overall.
