“The plan from start was to work for Cav in the sprint but with about six kilometres to go he said he wasn’t feeling super great, so they said I’d do the sprint and the team worked for me. It’s nice to win and finish things off,” Boasson Hagen explained.		share this photo

“Cav’s the team’s sprinter and when he’s good I’m happy to work for him and then take my chances if he’s not feeling great. He’s a good guy and is always honest, as he proved today. He said he wasn’t good straight away. We trust each other and we know we can work well together.” Boasson Hagen explained		share this photo
Matt Goss hasn't didn't get it done in the only two sprint finishes of this year's race but the strength of GreenEdge's opening time-trial keeps him in Blue. Goss said he was disappointed to miss out on victory for a second day but is happy with his form as Milan-Sanremo approaches. “I’d have liked to get more of a run yesterday. It was difficult today but I feel good for Milan-Sanremo, there aren’t as many guys at the finish of that race,” Goss said. “Today I was a little too far back in the sprint and it was difficult to move up in the last few corners. The important thing is that my legs felt good. I’m in the shape I need to be to be competitive at Milan-Sanremo.”		share this photo
