COLUMBIA-HTC MEN RACK UP 64TH VICTORY OF SEASON IN POLAND
Columbia-HTC’s Edvald Boasson Hagen sprinted to victory in stage four of the Tour of Poland on Wednesday. At the end of the 239 kilometre stage between Nalecszow and Rzeszow, Boasson Hagen powered across the line for Columbia-HTC's 64th Victory for the season
The 22-year-old Norwegian admitted that his victory in a bunch sprint stage had been unexpected and that his aim had been to lead out Columbia-HTC team-mate Andre Greipel.
“I tried to do the lead-out for Andre but things got a bit stressful in the last corner which was close to the finish,” Boasson Hagen said. “We almost crashed and I didn’t know afterwards if Andre was behind me or not, so I kept going.
“Finally, though, I got the win and it all worked out for the best.”
Team Director Tristan Hoffman is optimistic about the team with the mountain stages coming up.
"We have a couple of options for the General Classification and we're really motivated as a team to try and win this tour," he said.
"We plan to be aggressive and make it a hard race."
