Boom to miss weekend races

The cyclo-cross World Champion, Lars Boom, will miss this weekend's races after suffering from a urinary tract infection, his team announced Thursday. He has developed a fever, and it is not known when he will be able to return to racing.

Boom currently leads the Gazet van Antwerpen Trofee series, but will likely lose that advantage with the series' third race in Hasselt being held on Saturday. The next race in the series will be December 13th in Essen.
