"Oh, this is ridiculous!" is all Greg Henderson (Health Net-Maxxis) could manage after he sprinted to the win at the Philadelphia International, giving Health Net-Maxxis wins here two years in a row. The powerful kiwi sprinter, back from a long injury recovery, took his second win of the week after craftily winning a tricky sprint in Reading on Thursday. But today was even more special, surviving the 156 miles and ten times up the Manayunk Wall to out-power the Toyota-United Pro sprinters Ivan Dominguez and Juan Jose Haedo in a photo finish. "This is about how hungry I was to get back on the bike and start racing again. It's the motivation and I even surprise myself some days, like today."

Henderson relied on a strong lead-out from his teammates to navigate through the final field of thirty. Toyota-United drove the pace the final time around the Logan Square fountain into the long final 800 meter sprint. "Big Karl [Menzies] got a little excited and I just screamed at him to just wait because he wanted to go. He kept saying to me, 'What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do!' And I kept saying just wait, don't panic, it is so far from that last corner."

At that point it was a chaotic mess as a weary field fought for position with riders tired from more than six hours in the saddle. While many expected Juan Jose Haedo to carry the Toyota-United banner, he was give the task of lead-out man for teammate Ivan Dominguez. "Toyota wanted to keep it together for Dominguez in the finish. He was sitting on last wheel the whole last fifteen kilometers," said CSC sprinter Lars Michaelson.

"Those last 150 meters felt like 150 kilometers," Dominguez said. "There was so much wind! I was behind J.J. who was behind Henderson, and the moment I was supposed to go something happened with Mark [McCormack] -- he was bumping bars with someone and my front wheel touched his wheel and I almost crashed. From there I said I am going to go [alone] from here."

At the same moment, Henderson took his own line on the opposite side of the road along the barriers, protected from the wind. "The swarm came right at the bottom of the roundabout and Karl put me in perfect position," Henderson said. "I freelanced a little bit from wheel to wheel and opened it up from about four or five bikes back and came up on the inside. I saw the line and everyone around me but I could just see myself catching Ivan slowly but surely. Sprinters know who wins it on the line."

"Around the roundabout all we could do is get him into position and let him do his own thing," said Menzies. "He beat the fastest guys in the U.S., I guess that means he is the fastest guy in the U.S."

A crash half-way through the sprint did slow some riders, including Michaelson. "I got fifth and I had to stop at one point at about 150 meters! But the way I saw Greg Henderson coming, he is the true winner. He was like an arrow on the left side! That's the right winner."

Having two strong wins back-to-back must ease some of the pain from Henderson's early season injury. "This is what I trained for because I had a bit of bad luck earlier in the season," he said. "I had so much motivation to train. It wasn't until about a week before [this week] that I ended up emailing Jeff telling him I had pretty good legs so to send me because I wasn't originally supposed to come here."

Cyclingnews asked Henderson if winning here was an equal trade for the time missed. "That's a difficult question. It's always beautiful to win here but I missed a lot of racing. That is what I am paid to do and what I am passionate about. There was nothing I could do about it, so it's not even an option, but it's good I still have the passion about racing my bike after all these years -- it's a good sign."

In a complete opposite to last year's all-American podium, the top four spots were all non-American riders. However, they all ride on American domestic trade teams, showing that racing in America is just as good as American cycling. Greg Henderson agrees. "You ask any European pro that comes out here to race us and they find it very difficult to win."

How it unfolded

Early in the 156 mile race it seemed that a continuation of the Lancaster and Reading races might occur, with the attacks starting on the opening parade laps. Many tried, but the field kept the chase on and reeled in any attempts. About ten different attempts gave it a shot, mostly from the smaller American pro teams.

But after the three small opening laps were complete the real racing began. Argentinian Alejandro Acton (TargeTraining) built a small lead with German Christian Lademann (Sparkasse) as the race went onto the first large lap. First, Todd Yezefski (Nerac.com) attempted to bridge followed by Ryan Yee (Successfulliving.com) and Tyler Wren (Colavita-Sutter Home). The leaders held a slight advantage on the first ascent up the wall which took a slight amount of pressure off the field and the race to gain position at the bottom.

Up the wall the break blew apart and only Acton and Yezefski survived, but the pair were caught on the 'fall off the wall.' TIAA-CREF took hold of the action with a few attacks. As the race entered the Strawberry Mansion climb, Mike Jones (Health Net-Maxxis) launched an attack that took David O'Laughlin (Navigators) and Dustin MacBurnie (Targetraining) with him.

After this trio established itself, John Hamblen (Nerac.com) is bridging as well as Chad Hartley (TIAA CREF) and Tyler Wren (Colavita-Sutter Home) tried to bridge. Only Hartley was strong enough to make it across and the trio up front became a quartet that steadily built a decent lead.

Up and over the KOMs of the Manayunk Wall and Lemon Hill it was the young Canadian Dustin MacBurnie taking the points as the only one motivated for the classification -- a good move for the young rider on the young team. Steadily the gap grew with O'Laughlin seemingly the most motivated along with Hartley. "It was strange -- we weren't really going hard and the group must have just been creeping along because we were not going that hard," he said. "The others just were not really committed."

One rider that was visibly less involved with Health Net-Maxxis' Mike Jones. Having him in the break meant that his teammates did not have to chase, which put the onus on teams such as CSC and Toyota-United. As the time gap grew to more than ten minutes, Jones took shorter pulls. However he also began stretching his left leg and back, showing sights of discomfort. "He didn't do Reading because he was sick, but we needed a big diesel guy out there to just roll it," said team director Jeff Corbet. "He said he wasn't feeling well and not bluffing -- he was genuine," O'Laughlin said. "It was unfortunate we didn't have a few more. It worked out because it forced CSC and Toyota to chase -- that was all part of the plan."

Indeed, being in the break made a huge difference for the Health Net-Maxxis team. But Corbet said that Jones' presence was not about luck. "That is what Jones is here for. He is the quintessential early move guy. He is good at covering a lot of stuff and getting in breaks. He likes being there and out of the mayhem and enjoying be the lone guy. He's been in that move now three years in a row. You can't rely on one guy to make it so we had four of five guys set to cover, but our hope of hopes was to have Jones in that move and use him as the early guy."

As the laps ticked away MacBurnie took more points over the KOMs, winning every one relatively uncontested. But with the break over ten minutes, the strategy changed. "We were saving the day for Danny and it was my job just to be there and representing," said TIAA-CREF's Chad Hartley. "We had tabs on everybody in the group, but O'Laughlin was just murdering us."

Nonetheless, the group began showing signs of soft pedaling. At one point the break decided to take a natural break together, stopping on the side of the road. Unfortunately, they stopped on the part of Kelly Drive where the race goes both directions and with such a large gap the peloton was rolling in the opposite direction, causing quite an awkward moment.

The next time up the wall, Jones, Hartley and MacBurnie fell of the pace and From here, decided it was time to go solo. From here the break began to lose time. Team CSC jumped in the drivers seat and hit the gas. The speed was so high that the field shattered completely. Three main groups eventually sorted themselves out with a leading group of about thirty, spearheaded by five CSC riders.

"I think CSC did what everybody expected them to do and we tried to surprise people a little with the whole team going to the front and coming out of it with a group of thirty," said Lars Michaelson. That created a lot of panic I think! This started the real race for the finale. We had designated riders to do the work -- Matti and me were saved for the sprint along with Luke Roberts."

With the KOM lead secure, MacBurnie was feeling the effects of his effort on the day. The rider spoke with team director Ken Mills who confirmed that he had to in fact finish the race to win the prize. "At that point I told him there was no way I was going to be able to finish!" MacBurnie admitted.

"But as we kept riding and I kept watching the kilometers come down thinking I can probably hold on. After the break was caught the hardest part was the last two times up the wall. One of my teammates dropped back and helped me recover. Then it was the windy part along the parkway that was hard. Then I was looking forward to the climbs!" MacBurnie did make it to the final three laps where his time was prorated and his KOM win was official.

After leaving much of the field behind on the wall, the leading group of thirty made quick work of catching the first three break riders. O'Laughlin, on the other hand, was not ready to call it quits and powered on. The Irish champion survived another large lap to the wall, where he was caught half-way up by the flying group of thirty powered by CSC.

From here, Toyota-United gave it some gas via USPRO champion Chris Wherry, wearing the stars and stripes in this race for the first time ever. More attacks tried to go, but the speed was just two high. Behind this now leading group of thirty, Jeff Corbet's blood pressure began to rise for the first time all day. "We put ourselves behind the eight ball by missing that big split -- we only had Louder in there and we had to chase," he said. "People didn't see us chasing because it wasn't on front of the peloton, it was like group three. Jones had to come back and Gord and Kyle and Kirk."

The final time up Manayunk it was TIAA-CREF's Rahsaan Bahati launching an attack the was a lead-out for his teammate, Canadian champion Francois Perisien. But the field was moving too fast and quickly caught the attack as the crowds screamed their loudest all day.

Back towards town it was Toyota-United on the front setting the pace, with Chris Wherry captaining the ship. The leaders crossed the line for three laps to go, which meant only Lemon Hill was on the climbing menu. Danny Pate (TIAA-CREF), who finished second last year, attacked entering the feed zone, hoping to catch riders off guard on the last feeding lap. Pate lasted an entire lap, with a late bridge by Glen Mitchell (Priority Health).

"When it comes to a big group that late in the race nothing usually happens, so it was kind of a hail mary. I was just trying to get something going, but nothing happened. If Glen [Mitchell] had been up with me the whole time it might have been different, but I did a whole lap before that. All thirty guys in the group and none of them wanted to do anything. So I tried to lead-out Friedman in the end and he got sixth."

Back on the front it was all Toyota-United, with multiple riders setting a blistering pace, showing their confidence in winning a field sprint. "They wanted to play for a sprint, so I was fine with that," said Corbet. "They had the numbers and could have kept launching bombs and we would have had a hard time covering it. But they played for a sprint and that's a page out of the Health Net book."

Into the final finishing stretch it was Toyota-United leading the charge, burning every match they had left after keeping the pace high in the final kilometers of the race, but it was not enough to keep Henderson from throwing it on the line. "They were good in the end and the whole time," sprinter Ivan Dominguez said of his team. "Of course they are not going to all make it to the finish because they are giving it everything they had. I knew the only guy who could beat me is Henderson, and he showed a few days ago that he is going great. I'm happy with second and I am happy for him to win the race."
