Belgian cyclist
Eddy Planckaert (born 22 September 1958 in
Nevele ) is a Belgian former professional
road racing cyclist . In 1988, Planckaert enjoyed perhaps his best year by capturing the green jersey (points competition) at the
1988 Tour de France and winning the
Tour of Flanders . In 1990, he won
Paris–Roubaix , his second
monumental classic , with the closest finish in the race's history beating Canadian
Steve Bauer by less than a cm.
[1] A strong sprinter, Planckaert is one of the
riders with stage wins at all three cycling Grand Tours .
[2]
Eddy Planckaert is the brother of fellow cyclists
Willy and
Walter Planckaert . Eddy is also the uncle of
Jo Planckaert and the father of
Francesco Planckaert . More than 10 years after his cycling career, the former racer got back into the public eye with a long running reality TV show about his family life, on
Vtm .

After the
2016 Paris–Roubaix , Planckaert declared that second-placed
Tom Boonen should have made a deal with eventual winner
Mathew Hayman in order to fix the race and let Boonen win.
