Tom Hu ..... .When the 100th edition of Paris-Roubaix ended in 2002, it was a question on the lips of many. The race was won by the Lion of Flanders, Johan Museeuw. But in third place behind him that day was a young rider named Tom Boonen.

Just 21 years old at the time, Boonen had shown promise as a junior, but it was in one of the most spectacular events of Paris-Roubaix that the boy became a man. In the 14 years since, the Belgian has continued to establish himself as one of the most outstanding classic riders of all time.

His successes over the past few years are well documented. He has won Paris-Roubaix four times, and Cycling News goes back to where it all began, to that day in France when the young lion Boonen first roared.

In this podcast, we re-tell the story of Paris-Roubaix 2002. We go back in time and relive the race through the memories of Boonen's US Postal teammates, with interviews with George Hincapie, Antonio Cruz, Steffen Karlgaard, Matthew White, and of course Boonen himself.
