Henderson inches closer to lead

High Road's Greg Henderson took second place in the second stage of Tour de Georgia. In a very close sprint finish, Henderson came in behind CSC's JJ Haedo. With the second place the New Zealander moved up to second place in the overall classification. Henderson goes into stage three trailing the overall leader, Ivan Dominguez (Toyota United), by only three seconds.

"It was close," said High Road's Directeur Sportif Allan Piper, "but it's not winning. The team rode really well," he added. "We only have seven riders here and they were on the front today for close to 100 kilometres, so they did a great job. We'll try again tomorrow [Wednesday - ed.]."
