INTERVIEW
Flemish runners-up
This season the small cross world has seen the rise of two world class riders from Belgium, Sven Nijs and Bart Wellens. Under the direction of Eric de Vlaeminck, the former cross star, they have become formidable members of the well established order this winter. Wim Amels spoke with them.

MONIQUE KNOL MEETS:
A contented man
For Richard Groenendaal can the 1997-98 season really be it. The world cup is within grasp and the final rankings in the Superprestige can hardly elude him. Monique Knol spoke with him in Sint-Michielsgestel and found a contented man.

INTERVIEW
Mario's Consolation
Mario Cipollini was racing at the Brinta Beac Classic. In the rain and wind, Macho Mario raced at Scheveningen with thousands of enthusiasts watching. The one consolation: at the end he was interviewed by our sweet Marcia Jansen.

The Bike
Rompelberg's Bike Records
For his series on bikes, Bart de Schampheleire encounters a very special example in Maastricht: the record-setting bike of the oldest Dutch professional Fred Rompelberg. You could do no errands on it, but it goes very well!

EXTRA !!!
Cycle Racing Calendar for 1998
In the centre of this magazine you can find a detachable poster which details the 1998 Cycling Racing Calendar. A perfect reminder on your wall, where all essential cycling data for 1998 is conveniently arranged.
