Associated Press

ATLANTA — Kanstantin Sivtsov of Belarus, racing in the United States for the first time, won the Tour de Georgia while his teammate, New Zealand's Greg Henderson, won the race's final stage.

Henderson beat Argentina's Juan Jose Haedo in a final sprint through downtown Atlanta today to win the last of seven stages of the Tour de Georgia.

Sivtsov (pronounced SVITZ-sov) took the overall lead in Saturday's grueling climb up Brasstown Bald Mountain. Sivtsov and Henderson race for Team High Road.
