Mark Cavendish was full of praise for his Dimension Data team mate Edvald Boasson-Hagen ahead of the 2016 Tour De France which starts tomorrow.
Speaking at his team's press conference in Saint Lo, Cavendish said about the Norwegian road race and time trial champion: ''He is a an incredible guy who had had good success as well.
''He is a brilliant team mate who has stepped up as a leader. His legs used to do the talking but now he rallys the team together and this is mirrored in his results.
''He's good. I messaged him during the Dauphine saying maybe I should stop at home in July and he always does a good job with the minimum of force.
''I am confident you will see him involved this year.''
