Boonen back to winning ways at Heistse Pijl

Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) bounced back to winning ways on Saturday, taking out the victory in the 170 kilometre Heistse Pijl. The Classics star beat Kenny Dehaes (Lotto-Belisol) and Sean De Bie (Leopard Trek) from a breakaway. The win was Boonen’s first this season and marked a successful comeback after an injury- and illness-hit spring campaign.
