168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Boonen rode a fairly anonymous 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de Suisse and abandoned with only 80km left in the race on Sunday. But the Omega Pharma-QuickStep rider is satisfied with his performance and looking forward to the upcoming Belgian national championships on Sunday෴.
His abandonment was planned. “I had to get my flight at 8pm,” he told Het Nieuwsblad. “After the finish it was a two🐻 hour drive 🌞to Zürich.”
𝐆However, “the important thing is that I've ridden many miles and sat on the bike for many hours. I feel good and that gives me confidence for the Belgian champioꦆnship on Sunday.”
Riding Suisse is &💛ldquo;always weird,” Boonen noted.🅺 “It is a preparation for what follows but you don't want to take too many risks.”
He will take it easy this week, skippinജg the Halle-Ingooigem race on Wednesday. “Monday and Tuesday I will rest. I suspect I will be refreshed again by Wednesday. Then Iꦕ will get two good training sessions in.
“I look forward to the Belgian championship. Itౠ is in Geel, and so a home game, which is an added incentive.&rdq﷽uo;
Boonen has wo🅰n the national title once, in 2009. This year he is skipping the Tour de France to concentra🐽te on the London 2012 Olympics.
