Cavendish to lead well-rounded Dimension Data team at Tirreno-Adriatico
Dimension Data will field a well-rounded team at the seven-day Tirreno-Adriatico from March 9-15 in Italy. With a mix of terrain, the team will rely on newly crowned Madison world champion Mark Cavendish in the sprints and Natnael Berhane in the hills.
Dimension Data will have a strong team at Tirreno-Adriatico that also includes Edvald Boasson Hagen, who will look to continue to build on his form ahead of the Spring Classics, and Steve Cummings, who finished sixth overall at last year's edition of the race.

"I am looking forward to getting my season going at Tirreno-Adriatico. It was a good race for me last season," Cummings said in a team press release. "Hopefully, the team can continue racing at Tirreno in the same manner as what we have already started this season. We have a strong team for Tirreno so it should be a great race."
The team will also bring Tour de Langkawi champion Reinardt Janse van Rensburg, Berhane, Kristian Sbaragli, Mark Renshaw and Kanstantsin Siutsou.
"I'm really looking forward to this week," said team director Roger Hammond. "We have a very strong and versatile team that can be competitive on the varied terrain that Tirreno-Adriatico presents each day. In Edvald and Steve we will have two riders testing their stage race form, while Mark will be making his transition back to the road after a successful track campaign. It is going to be an exciting week for the team."
