Henderson auditions for Tour de France in Amgen Tour

The finish of the Amgen Tour of California stage into Modesto didn't go as planned for Team Sky but the British team still claimed the stage win and kept the race lead. Instead of yellow jersey Ben Swift sprinting to victory as he did in Sacramento, it was his teammate and final lead-out man Greg Henderson who maintained his sprint for 500 metres to take the stage and race lead.
