Tom Boonen är tillbaka i sadeln: Troubled Quickstep star Tom Boonen will make an earlier than expected return to racing today at the 65th Gullegem-Koerse in Flanders, Belgium. The race will be Boonen's first since he was suspended by his team following a second out-of-competition positive test for cocaine.
"Tom is racing today," Quickstep team director, Patrick Lefevere told Cyclingnews on Tuesday morning. It had been expected that Boonen would make his return to the peloton at the Dauphiné Libéré later this month.
Boonen will race alongside a strong Quickstep team including Ronde van Vlaanderen winner Stijn Devolder, Kevin De Weert, Kevin Hulsmans, Steven De Jongh, Wouter Weylandt, Maarten Wynants, Kevin Van Impe, Sébastien Rosseler and Jurgen Vandewalle.
"It is not a very big race but if Tom Boonen is there everybody wants to be there," said Lefevere of the Belgian team's line-up.

"From what I've seen there's no team. They've five times more money, but not even the two wins we had last year," Tinkov told Cyclingnews on Saturday.
Tinkov transferred his former team – Tinkoff Credit Systems – to Russian Igor Makarov and became president last May. By September, Tinkov believed that he lacked complete control over the decision-making process and resigned.
