The organizers of the Tour of Belgium haven't yet given up hope that Tom Boonen will ride the race. According to Sportwereld, his participation is in doubt not only because of a broken toe but also because of a dispute with the organizers. Race officials plan a meeting with Quickstep team manager Patrick Lefevere to try to convince Boonen to appear. Boonen's name is on the provisional start list.
The Tour of Belgium features six ProTour teams, six Professional Continental teams and five amateur teams. It runs from Wednesday, May 30, through Sunday, June 3.
