The prologue Cancer Council criteriums kicked off today in the 2010’s season opening stage race The Tour Down Under.

“It was just unbelievable,” said Henderson. “The lead out was just so fast, I don’t think I’ve ever been on anything faster and in the end my job was easy. What an incredible feeling.”

Today’s results will not effect the actual race but it was one for the sprinters to show who is the top dog and they obviously all want to get out and front for a win and keep away from the crashes behind them.
