The forty-fifth edition of the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix, with its infamous hot dog-style course came down to another field sprint, which really means the race to the last 180 degree turn just 300 meters from the finish. And coming into that turn with the best position was Toyota-United's sprinting machine Juan Jose Haedo, who out-sprinted Greg Henderson (Health Net-Maxxis) for the NRC win.

"I'm really happy with the team today," said Haedo. "They did a great job for me."

Greg Henderson commented that it was a toe-to-toe battle between his Health Net-Maxxis team and Toyota-United, which makes sense as both companies' head quarters are nearby. "It was really a Health Net versus Toyota show down," he said. "There was an a dangerous break about half-way through, but they didn't have anyone fast in there so they went heavy to chase it down and have a reshuffle."

Coming into the finish, Toyota-United had all eight of their riders on the front for the lead-out to the final turn. "I was caught out of position before the last turn and it cost me a lot of energy to get into position," said Henderson. "I just couldn't get around J.J. after that.'

"There was a guy coming on my right side way too fast and dangerous," said Haedo. "But Henderson and I got through it even and it was a drag race to the line."

"It comes down to a race to that last turn," said Henderson. "Toyota had the numbers and used them well."

The two top sprinters will meet again in less than a week at the criterium national championships outside Chicago. “We’ll have a full team there,” said Henderson. “If we don’t win then, it will be no excuses!”
