Teamless Boasson Hagen linked to Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale in late reprieve

The Norwegian outlet Landevei.no has suggested that Edvald Boasson Hagen could be joining Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale in a report on Friday.

The 36-year-old was left without a team for the 2024 season when TotalEnergies declined to renew his contract.

Boasson Hagen scored one podium finish in 2023, taking third at the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana 1969, a one-day race in January won by Lotto Dstny sprinter Arnaud De Lie.

However, the Norwegian has a lengthy palmares with 96 victories, 23 at the WorldTour level, in one-day races like Gent-Wevelgem, the Bretagne Classic/GP Plouay and the Vattenfall Cyclassics, as well as three stages of the Tour de France, five in the Critérium du Dauphine and two in Tirreno-Adriatico.
