Stage 1 - October 2: Maubeuge - Mons en Pévèle (France), 187.9 km
Boonen back on the good foot
 |
Tom Boonen recovered from a disappointing world championships by netting another season victory in the Circuit Franco-Belge. The European stage race season closer began in Maubeuge, France for a quick 187.9 kilometre long stage which was contested at a whopping 46 kilometres per hour. Boonen got the better of American Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Chipotle) and Belgian champion Jurgen Roelandts in the bunch sprint.
"I am really pleased, as today's result confirms that after the World Championships I am still on great form and I'll be making the most of this," Boonen said. "There was a lot of action and nervousness during the race today and the group was also split-up into smaller sub-groups due to the strong winds. There were a few breakaway attempts during the final with our team doing a fantastic job during the final two kilometres.
"Steven [de Jongh], Wouter [Weylandt] and Kevin {Hulsmans] set the up the sprint in an exemplary way, putting me in the ideal position to win. I'm amazed and very pleased at the power and sprint I have in my legs, proving I'm in great form something that I'll be making the most of it at the Paris-Tours [on October 12]. "It has become my main objective for the final part of the season."
