Edvald Boasson Hagen is set to captain Dimension Data in the Criterium du Dauphine. The rider will start on the race after taking the third overall place in the Tour of Norway.
The French race mixes stages for the fast men, for the puncheurs and the climbers on the final days. This competition is also one of the favourite races for the riders that want to prepare for the upcoming Tour de France.
Dimension Data has chosen some riders that are regulars in the Criterium du Dauphine, including Boasson Hagen and Steve Cummings, who have won five stages between them in previous editions of the race.
"This year's Dauphine will be my 9th Criterium du Dauphine," said the Norwegian rider. "I really enjoy this race and I have some good memories from the success I have had here before. I hope to be successful here again with the team, as we head into an important part of the season."
Dimension Data's roster for Criterium du Dauphine (9th to 16th of June):
Edvald Boasson Hagen
Steve Cummings
Julien Vermote
Jaco Venter
Jacques Janse van Rensburg
