Its a shame for Edvald, because he's super strong, but theres nothing he can do that a handful of others can do better.
Outsprinted by the pure sprinters (which is why I think he goes early everything for a long sprint), outclimbed by the sprinter finishers (like Sagan).He should have got himself in all the breakaways I think, though he's too strong in the sprint for anyone in the breakaway to work with him.

there are just those riders that always pop up as potential contenders in race previews but who very rarely seem to deliver - edvald boasson hagen and dan martin are the two who always stick in my mind. whenever someone touts either of them, I know I can safely disregard their chances of winning
