TEAM SKY’S Greg Henderson wrote on his Twitter, just after finishing runner up in the Tour Down Under: “ouch. just been informed if I won 2day I would have been 2nd overall at TDU. Takes a little of the gloss off to be honest.”

You’d say that after twice finishing second and finishing behind Australian Chris Sutton on the final day.

It left him with unfinished business.

But recently he picked up his third win of the year at Contres, France.

“I took the first win for Team Sky [the Down Under classic in Adelaide preceding the Tour Down Under] but it’s even more beautiful to win for Sky in France. Paris-Nice is such a prestigious race,” Henderson said after the podium ceremony.

“I don’t know what gear I had for the finish, probably 52×12, but it felt so big. I was lucky enough to be in the front. When I saw the move from Caisse d’Epargne and the yellow jersey [Lars Boom] jumping, I fortunately had the legs to go across with 15km to go. I also had the legs to win the sprint.”
