Tom Boonen hasn't finished his season yet, as he will line up on Sunday for the Paris-Tours classic. The Quick.Step man opted for a lower key build up to the race by doing Wednesday's pro kermis in Zele, Belgium. Although the race might not have carried UCI points, Boonen still made the most of it. He got two teammates to blow the field apart so that only 20 riders finished. Boonen was the strongest, escaping with Hamish Haynes (Jartazi) near the finish, before being caught by three others, then winning the sprint easily.
