Together with directeur sportif Erik Dekker, Rabobank's Michael Boogerd trained on the last 130 kilometres of the Ronde van Vlaanderen parcours on Wednesday. Dekker, who was in the team car following his former teammate, thought that the reconnaissance was necessary for the Spring Classics veteran.
"It was very useful - that new climb on the parcours, the Eikenmolen, was surprising," said Dekker, who was quite satisfied with Boogerd's condition. "Michael was going strong, I assure you!"
