Greg Henderson

Track cycling At the 1998 Commonwealth Games Henderson won bronze medals in the points race and the team pursuit. He won gold in the points race and bronze again in the team pursuit at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. At the 2004 Summer Olympics he finished fourth in the points race and seventh in the madison. His best placing in the 2006 Commonwealth Games was 10th in the scratch race. He credited his success in this role to the positioning skills which he developed as a track rider, and having to compete against quicker road sprinters such as Greipel, Mark Cavendish and Marcel Kittel. He competed in the 2016 Tour de France. In August 2017 Henderson announced his retirement from competition, having competed in his last race, the 2017 Colorado Classic, and indicated that he would move into full-time coaching, having trained athletes since 2014. The following month he was announced as Endurance Performance Director for USA Cycling. ==Personal life==

He was previously married to the Australian cyclist Katie Mactier. He has a bachelor's degree in Physical Education from the University of Otago. ==Major results==
