Winning Bicycle Racing Illustrated or Ciclisme International was an English- and French-language cycling magazine published in Belgium that covered European road racing. It ran from July 1983 to 1998. [1]

History

Winning Bicycle Racing Illustrated was founded by Belgian journalist and publisher Jean-Claude Garot, who had previously created the weekly newspaper Pour [ fr]. Based in Brussels, Winning began as an English-language magazine first and only sold in North America, with its first issue released in July 1983. It later made a version for Belgium and France in French, as Ciclisme International, as well as a further version in the United Kingdom. Garot sold Winning US in 1997. It soon failed, and along with Ciclisme International and Winning UK, ended in 1998. [1]
