Despite winning a Vuelta a España stage, Tom Boonen's day wasn't all roses yesterday. The Belgian was given two fines and a total of two months loss of licence for two speeding offences and driving whist under the influence of alcohol, relating to incidences which occurred earlier in the year, according to Sporza.be.
The first case relates to an incident on April 24 where he was clocked doing 129 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. The report claims Boonen did not deny speeding and that he was aware of his error. He received a 412.50 euro fine and 31 day licence suspension.
