Boonen won't race Scheldeprijs
Tom Boonen (QuickStep-Innergetic) has pulled out of Wednesday's Scheldeprijs with a bum stomach, his team reported Tuesday.
"Today I have to stop my training because of these problems. Together with the team medical staff we decided to don't take risks," he said in a team release. "Traditionally this is the last race of my first part of the season. I cannot take the start but I want to be in Antwerpen and Schoten to say hello and thanks to all my supporters and to support my teammates during the race."
Boonen also was involved in a minor car crash on Monday when he swerved to avoid a cat that had run onto the road.
"Yesterday evening at 9 p.m. I was driving my car in the neighborhood of Balen. Near a traffic lights a cat crossed the road," he said. "I avoided the cat but the car finished in the road bump. I damaged the front part of my car but fortunately the cat is still alive!"
