Tom Boonen

The 2006 Paris-Roubaix turned out to be quite memorable. The race came one week after the Tour of Flanders, with World Champion Tom Boonen riding high on his victory. George Hincapie also had a strong finish on the podium in Flanders, and came to Paris-Roubaix in top-notch form with a killer drive to win and a strong team to support him. Hincapie has wanted to add a win at Paris-Roubaix to his palmares for years, but things don't always turn out though. Hincapie's race ended up being very memorable, but unfortunately not in the way he wanted it to. The field was both strong and deep. Apart from Boonen and Hincapie, other strong riders including Peter Van Petegem (Davitamon), Fabian Cancellara (CSC), Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank), Steffen Wesemann (T-Mobile) animate the action.

In ‘Happy Hour’, Ruben chats with a regular group of famous friends about whatever is on their minds at the time. The first name in that group is Tom Boonen. Cameras were there when Ruben and Tom brainstormed about the new show in the middle of the night.

In Geub, the wife of fictional Philippe Geubels runs off with the charismatic Dutchman William Van Bronkhorst, who is thirty years her senior. In addition to being eligible for retirement, William is also an almost too sympathetic man who seems impossible to anger. However, that doesn't stop Philippe from regularly trying. Deeply humiliated and depressed, Flanders' most popular comedian turns to his mother Sonja, who supports him with advice and laundry baskets full of ironed clothes. Philippe's entourage also includes his regular technician Dikke Dirk and his best friend Pannenkoek. They do what they can to cheer Philippe up, but unfortunately, that's not much.
