Wednesday, August 12, 2009 Boasson Hagen to leave Columbia-HTC by VeloNation Press at 10:40 AM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling   The team transfer rumor mill has been churning for weeks, and along with speculation about other star members of the Team Columbia-HTC juggarnaught, we have confirmation that Edvald Boasson Hagen will leave the team. According to his manager Birger Hungerholdt Boasson Hagen will be riding elsewhere in 2010. "We have a list of teams that are interested," Hungerholdt said to the Norwegian media. "After the Tour of Poland [where Boasson Hagen won two stages] There was an explosion of interest." Along with his recent stage wins in the Tour of Poland, Boasson Hagen has also won a stage in the Giro d'Italia and the Gent-Wevelgem semi-classic. There is speculation as to whether Thomas Lövkvist, Morris Possoni, George Hincapie, and Marcus Burghardt will follow suit. If so, that will make a serious dent in both firepower and experience for 2010.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article
