Hey Guys, I'm Greg Henderson and I ride for Lotto Belisol. I was born September 10, 1976 in Dunedin, New Zealand. I grew up mainly riding on the track and was the National Point Race Champion in 1999 and 2001. In 2004 I won the scratch race at the World Championships.

August: I prepare for the Vuelta with the Dutch Valley Food Classic.
September: After the Vuelta I ride some end of the season classics like Paris Tours and the GP Wallonie.
Total Race days: 76 Although I will probably withdraw from some races after the last bunch sprint like Tour Du Suisse and Paris-Nice.

Good luck, I'm assuming this is going to be only one season since he starts declining afterwards.

Vuelta a Mallorca stage 1
Today's stage is a short circuit race of 110 km with a slightly uphill finish
I hope for a podium finish today.
The Stage
[img-l]https://imageshack.us/a/img259/7389/breakf.jpg[/img-l]
The break includes: Orbe (Onda), Velasco (Andulacia), Taborre (Vini Fantini), Bauer (Garmin), Euser (UnitedHealthCare), Santamaria (Burgos), and Txurrka (Caja Rujal) they have a 2 min gap with 45 kms to go
With 15 kms to go the gap is down to 30 seconds and the leadout train is set.
With 10 kms to go the break has been caught.
3 kms to go and Bille has started his sprint as I hit the steepest section of the course.
Under the flamme rouge and Duque (Columbia) is in the lead as I start my sprint. Duque is fading and I soar by him into the lead but there is a late challenge by Ventoso (Moviestar) can I hold on?
Yes, as I take my first and hopefully not last victory of the season!

Nice win, man. Just a suggestion, the results are better in table format.

You can remove the rings under the riders with ' I believe, that would make the screens nicer

Selwink- You can remove the rings under the riders with ' I believe, that would make the screens nicer
It worked, however I had already done stage 2 before I saw this same with exported results.

Vuelta a Mallorca Stage 2
Today is a longer flat stage with 2 cat 4 climbs. I hope for the win today.
The Stage
Here is me at the start with my yellow jersey.
Five man group includes: Andianto (Vini Fantini), Chacon (Andulacia), Cammaerts (Cofidis), Fraile (Caja Rujal), and Tortelier (Sojasun).
We jump to 10 kms to go the gap is down to 30 seconds and our train is on the move.
With 3 kms to go the break has been caught and as you can see IAM and Astana trains are beating ours.
Under the Flamme Rouge Ventoso and Duque are flying up the left hand side and I'm a litte boxed in. Who will win?
And Duque takes it! After a poorly timed sprint yesterday Duque takes the win for Columbia! I came through at the end to take second and Hofland from Blanco rounds out the podium.
results in spoiler
Next stage will have no names and circles along with exported results.
