Preview
Taking place over four days from May 30 to June 2 is the 62nd edition of the UCI 2.2 classed Tour of Luxembourg. The race will see Erik Dekker in action again, after returning to competition last Monday in a kermis in Strombeek where he finished 12th. Dekker has been out of action since breaking his leg in Milan-San Remo in March.
Last year's winner Jørgen Bo Petersen will lead a strong EDS-fakta team, which has been at the top of the division II rankings since the beginning of the team. Local favourites Benoît Joachim (riding for the Luxembourg National Team) and Kim Kirchen (Fassa Bortolo) will also be there, alongside recent Tour of Belgium winner Bart Voskamp (Bankgiroloterij-Batavus), and Peter Van Petegem (Lotto-Adecco).
