In this issue
The conclusion of the March international break means two things. Firstly, that a handful of countries can start preparing for next year’s World Cup in North America while others can start making other plans, and secondly that we are now into the final straight of the club season. In this issue, we’ve addressed both: the winners and losers on the international stage, and the runners and riders in Europe’s big five leagues.
