Career
Hagen joined the Norwegian continental team Team Maxbo Bianchi in 2006 and in his first season in the continental circuits he took eight wins including three stages of the Tour de l'Avenir.
In 2007 he enjoyed a successful season and scored fifteen wins, ending up second in number of victories behind ProTour sprinter Alessandro Petacchi. But, after the disqualification of the Italian in May 2008 for doping, Alessandro Petacchi lost 5 stage wins in the 2007 Giro resulting in Boasson Hagen having the most victories. Boasson won the overall classification as well as stages at Paris-Corrèze, Ringerike GP and Istrian Spring Trophy. He also took stages at Tour of Ireland, Tour de Normandie and Tour de Bretagne as well as the Norwegian time trial championship. As a result of these achievements, he finished fifth in the individual point standings of 2006-2007 UCI Europe Tour. In early 2007 it was announced that for 2008 season he would leave Team Maxbo Bianchi for the German UCI ProTeam T-Mobile Team. In late 2007 it was announced that Deutsche Telekom was to end sponsorship of T-Mobile Team with immediate effect. The team continued under the name "Team High Road". The team will participate in the 2008 Tour de France as "Team Columbia".
Team High Road/Team Columbia
Hagen began the 2008 season with a fifth place in the prologue of Tour of California, ahead of established time trial specialists like David Millar and Gustav Larsson. He later won the concluding individual time trial of Criterium International ahead of teammate Tony Martin and the Grand Prix de Denain. He also finished second at the Commerce Bank Reading Classic and became the Norway National Time Trial Champion for the second year in a row. Later in the year he competed in the Beijing Olympics Road Race, finishing 71st, and entered the ProTour race Eneco Tour of Benelux aiming for the overall classification. He finished third in the prologue and was well placed in the following stages when in the fifth stage the front of the peloton split in the strong cross winds and left him 14 minutes behind the leaders. Hagen lost any chance of overall victory but made up by winning the following stage in Brussels by passing Jimmy Engoulvent in the final 15 meters of the race. At the Tour of Britain he won three stages and the points competition.
In 2009 he won the cobbled classic Gent-Wevelgem in a two man sprint against Liquigas rider Aleksandr Kuschynski. He also rode in the 2009 Giro d'Italia, his first ever Grand Tour, where Team Columbia won the Team Time trial, Hagen won the seventh stage in a sprint and finished second in the sixth and eighth stages.

Hello it's Edvald Boasson Hagen here writing on my new blog with my english translator jacob. Anyway this is where i will post my results my team performance my thoughts and many other things. Enjoy!
MEET THE TEAM
LEADERS
Mark Cavendish will be are mine sprinter this year and i hope i can help mark get into the best postion possible to help him win some stages. He will be aimed at the tour and giro wich will give me a chance in some other races.
George Hincapie is are main classics man and will hope to get the paris roubaix he's been after for many, many, many years and will aim for the tour of flanders as well could end up with many wins this year.
Michael Rogers will hopefully be austrailan champ by time the first pro tour race comes will be in the tour but probably won't be good enough to win hopfully he will win some races for us this year.

Australien Championship
We had Mike Rogers, Mark Renshaw and Adam Hansen COME ON BOYS!
16 riders made the first cut but Alan Davies and Robbie Mccwen both were in the second group and no longer contenders. But our lads made it to the first group.
More and more riders are dropped and Mark is dropped along with Stuart O'Grady who mark sits on the back whell of for much of the race.
here's the final 6 riders Rogers, Hansen , Sutherland , Evans , Gerrans and Lloydbut then ........
Sutherland attack!! it breaks hansen and lloyd and gerrans tries to follow but he's not strong enough it's sutherland out in front alone and to make matters worse evans isin't working with rogers so rogers attacks.
Perfect timing he has a green moment and storms past sutherland (see picture) he's bulit a 1 minuate lead and is flying no one else matters but him and no attack evans who tries to power his way back.
and it starting to work up the final climb rogers is slowing and evans keep getting nearer and nearer and nearer.
Evans is closing rogers needs to hang on then evans seems to crack and rogers WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Rogers
2 Evans 41
3 Lloyd 2'41
8 Hansen 6'49
12 Renshaw 8'09
Another win YES
columbia - high road rule
untill next time edvald. |

Mark Rogers
Adam Hansen
Edveld Boasson Hagen
Greg Henderson
Bert Grabach
Victor Reynes
Hey here's my report from the Cancer Council Race
My Job: Set up cav for the win
Our lqads started near the back early on.
Many tried to get up in the break but all failed
Our lead out train was in postion and ready when....
Gregg fell this meant i was now leading out cav !!!!!!!!!!
we got into postion for cav this was the moment of truth even against a weak sprinting field thhis was my chance to prove i could lead out cav.
1km to go i was leval with cav and going hard but cav was giving only 75% and in the last 1km eased past me.
but i got a well deserved 2nd and hopfully can bulid on that in the tour of wellington
