Women\u2019s Day. In this issue we have focused mainly on the stories and personalities around women\u2019s cycling. The elite women\u2019s racing scene has become ever more established over the past six years, with the trickle- \u00cd\u015f\u01eb\u0154\u01b4\u00dd\u00fc\u00dd\u00b4\u01b9\u01b4\u019d\u013d\u015f\u01eb\u013d\u01f1\u01b4\u00fa\u00dd\u00dd\u00cd\u012d\u0154\u0114\u01b4\u012d\u0154\u01b9\u015f\u01b4\u0092\u013d\u013d\u01b4 aspects of the sport and industry and giving us more races and riders to feature in the magazine each week. This week, it\u2019s world number one Demi Vollering. In our exclusive interview she talks to us not only about her undimmed racing ambitions \u00a5\u01d3\u01b9\u01b4\u0092\u013d\u019d\u015f\u01b4\u0127\u015f\u01eb\u01b4\u019d\u0127\u00dd\u01b4\u019d\u01b9\u012d\u013d\u013d\u01b4\u01eb\u0092\u0154\u01b9\u019d\u01b4\u01b9\u015f\u01b4\u0092\u00fc\u00dd\u00b4\u01b9\u01b4 change.
