Rondelez (Bel) 45 riders We started something...Yesterday, I published results sent to me by Fernando Ferrari from Meta2Mill which captures their victories for 1997 listing. Well, apart from making it look neat, and also changing Fernando's Spanish to English, that is my extent of responsibility. So, it looks good and is in English.But some people have queried the detail. Here are some issues and perhaps we can get Fernando to investigate further. Makes for fascinating data anyway, whichever way it goes. From Kim Ravn-Mortensen, Danish National News Agency In your list of victories this year Bjarne Riis has 3. He won the Amstel Gold Race - I agree - but which other victories did he claim this year? He won four small races in Denmark during May, but I can't imagine that they count out in the real world. I hope that you can help me. From Kris Kerreth, a frequent Belgian source Tom Steels (Mapei-GB) - 12 instead of 11 victories.
