Winner of TE's TdF Stage 1 Contest (**spoiler info included**)

Congratulations to Joy Brott, who won a $20 Team Estrogen Gift Certificate and a Tour T-shirt.

Joy correctly answered 3 out of the 4 questions posed about Stage 1. While no entrant guessed that Jimmy Casper of France would being wearing green at the end of the day, Joy correctly predicted that George Hincapie would be wearing the yellow jersey at the conclusion of the stage, with a 2 second lead over his closest competitor. She was also correct in predicting that there would not be a major pile-up involving 10 or more riders in the final 1 km (though fully 24% of the entrants *did* expect a pile-up!)

Statistics:

Green Jersey predictions: 31% of you thought that Thor Hushovd would hold onto the green jersey at the end of the day. Other clear favorites were Tom Boonen (24%), Robbie McEwen (17%) and Stuart O’Grady (8%)

Yellow Jersey predictions: An overwhelming majority of contest entrants
(59%) picked Thor Hushovd to remain in yellow. Just 17% expected to see George Hincapie to take it from him. Dave Zabriskie was the third most popular choice..
