Team Sky is preparing Edvald Boasson Hagen this week at Tirreno-Adriatico as its leader for Milan-San Remo. The British ProTour team has had a chance to test its tactics on the rolling stage finishes and, above all, face most of the San Remo rivals it will see next Saturday.

"Most of the teams and riders do this race because these stages [are similar] to the Milano-San Remo parcours," Sports Director Scott Sunderland told Cycling Weekly. "Just racing so hard at the end on these types of parcours is good for everyone, not just for Edvald, but for all the other guys."
