It is just too early after the Tour," Boonen said to Reuters. The Tour is Boonen's number one focus - to him it is a higher priority than the world championships or the Olympics. In particular, Boonen hopes to claim the green jersey again.
The 27 year-old Boonen still has some time left to go to other Olympic Games and he left the door open. "I want to go at least once and yes, I would like to win a gold medal for Belgium."
Boonen's told Reuters his strategy is to win an early season classic to take some of the pressure off for the rest of the year. "I have a better chance of winning when I am relaxed."

Some other considerations which don't get a mention.

Unless the weather doesn't cooperate (absolutely no wind), it'll be clean. The government will shut down everything that pollutes to try and clean up the air for those few weeks. Then it'll be back to business as usual.
