Boasson Hagen to miss Omloop Het Nieuwsblad through illness
Team Sky rider sidelined by a cold
Edvald Boasson Hagen will sit out the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad this weekend due to illness.
"I'm glad I got the cold now," he said, according to nieuwsblad.be. "It would have been worse if it had come later in connection with Paris-Roubaix."
The 24-year-old Norwegian, who races for Team Sky, has shown he is on good early season form after winning stage 2 of the Tour of Algarve last week.
In 2011, he finished 41st in the Belgian classic, but in 2010, he was sixth.
