Boasson Hagen wins Tirreno-Adriatico stage three

Edvald Boasson Hagen wins, Tirreno-Adriatico 2012, stage three

Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen followed up Mark Cavendish's win yesterday with one of his own. The Norwegian stomped down the cobbled streets in Terni today and held off André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol).

"The plan from the start was to go for Cav in the sprint," Boasson Hagen explained. "With about six kilometres to go, he said that he was not feeling great and that I should try to sprint. It was nice to have a chance and finish it off for him when he wasn't feeling good."
