Belgian top sprinter Tom Boonen feels he is coming up to his desired form after competing in the Tour of Austria, where he won the last stage. The Quick Step rider, who was left uninvited to the Tour de France following a positive test for cocaine consumption in the end of May, consoled himself with a victory in Vienna in front of Roberto Ferrari (LPR) and René Weissinger (Volksbank).
"This finale in the centre of Vienna was a bit like the finish on the Champs-Elysées," he mused to Belgian Sporza. "Now, I can put another city on the list of the capitals where I already won: Paris, London, Brussels and Madrid. My condition is already very good. I think I will achieve top form in the end of August."
