Let T be a hamiltonian bipartite tournament with n vertices, γ a hamiltonian directed cycle of T, and k an even number. In this paper, the following question is studied: What is the maximum intersection with γ of a directed cycle of length k? It is proved that for an even k in the range 4 ≤ k ≤ [(n+4)/2], there exists a directed cycle C_h(k) of length h(k), h(k) ∈ k,k-2 with |A(C_h(k)) ∩ A(γ)| ≥ h(k)-3 and the result is best possible.
Keywords: bipartite tournament, pancyclism
