Norway's Thor Hushovd was the last rider to wear the Tour de France's green jersey in Lance Armstrong's reign.
Yesterday he became the first to wear the coveted yellow one handed over by the American following his retirement after a record seventh victory.
Hushovd won the 7.1km Tour prologue, pipping American George Hincapie by 0.73s.
