>In 1998 Rudy Dhaenens died in a car accident on the way to serve as a race commenter for the Tour of Flanders. He was only 37 years old.
Oh, my God! I am so sorry to hear that. The next time I go to watch Japan Cup, held annually on this very same course, I will make sure to remember this very happy man.
One of the Worlds' better sentimental victories. I've always wondered why De Wolf sat up with about 10 meters left -- he needed a big win like that as much as Dhaenens did. Fortunately, he managed to win Liege (or one of the other monuments) in 1992.
Dag Otto Lauritzen ; unofficial world champ 1990. It was a conspiracy against him!
