Being the main event of the day, over 10,000 people had come to watch nine laps (27.675 kilometres) of cyclo-cross. Mario De Clercq got an early lead and managed to widen it lap by lap. Meanwhile in the background his fellow countryman Erwin Vervecken was controlling the chasing group with ease, sacrificing personal gain for the nation. Parrying every attack, Vervecken managed to play out his own cards in the final climb and raced to a silver medal. Henrik Djernis took the bronze with Daniele Pontoni crashing while trying to pass the Dane in the last line.Men's Elite Results https://web.archive.org/web/20110722083538/http://oldsite.uci.ch/english/cyclo_cross/worlds_mondiale/cxworlds98/cxcdm_result.htm 2011-07-22 , UCI archive.Men's Elite Report https://web.archive.org/web/20120802072606/http://oldsite.uci.ch/english/cyclo_cross/worlds_mondiale/cxworlds98/cxcdm_report.htm 2012-08-02 , UCI archive.
