GREG Henderson took out the Cancer Council Helpline Classic last week.

The 33-year-old from Dunedin was a surprise winner ahead of Australian Chris Sutton.

Henderson was part of Team Sky’s match winning line-up.

Team Sky put on a two-lap masterclass in how to execute the perfect leadout train at the right time

“The lead out was so fast, I’ve never been on the back of anything faster,” said Henderson after the finish to cyclingnews.com.

Russell Downing was one of the most important in the team in the final minutes.

“We were there from two to go,” he explained after the finish. “Then Columbia got it organised on the left hander down the back; we were still in formation so I lead it round the outside and straight out of the corner and took the Columbia train off. The boys were yelling behind and I took it all the way down the straight and into the corner.
