Tom Boonen is still in pain from his heavy fall in the Ronde van Vlaanderen but the Quick.Step leader has decided to start Gent-Wevelgem on Wednesday in order to test himself once more in competition before trying to avenge his Ronde defeat in Paris-Roubaix next weekend. "I don't know how the situation will evolve, but we will just have to see," the big Belgian told Sporza.
