Nine riders have managed to win both the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix in the same year, with Tom Boonen becoming the latest. The first rider to do so was Swiss Henri Suter in 1923, and since then, only Belgians have pulled off the feat: Romain Gijssels (1932), Gaston Rebry (1934), Raymond Impanis (1954), Fred De Bruyne (1957), Rik van Looy (1962), Roger de Vlaeminck (1977), Peter van Petegem (2003) and Tom Boonen (2005).
