And what a finale it was. They were very close last week in Gent, but now took in in Zurich.

Also great racing from Dillier, who won last year with Keisse. He has a bright future in six day racing and on the road.

No coverage of the Rotterdam Six this week anywhere?

[lemon cheese cake]

No coverage of the Rotterdam Six this week anywhere?

Nothing on the computer or TV for where I live. Nothing from last night on twitter either, except for Team Roompots team presentation that took place there.

[Dazed and Confused]

Can't remember if Rotterdam had better coverage last year.

Anyway this will be reduced to a bit of result googling.

1 Jasper De Buyst (BEL) / Kenny De Ketele (BEL) 0 143
2 Michael Mørkøv (DEN) / Alex Rasmussen (DEN) -1 153

Go Terpstra ffs.

[TShame]

eventually, it will get posted on youtube.

I heard england wants to organize a six day for next year.

[Dazed and Confused]

not sure many will bother with a youtube clip, I mean its not like the fans are lining up in droves to follow a live stream when its available from a six day event.

Anyway lets see how the Manchester (?) Six Days evolves.

[Dazed and Confused]

1 Jasper De Buyst (BEL) / Kenny De Ketele (BEL) 0 243

Full race schedule for Terpstra. Performs year around. No problem.

[RedheadDane]

Top 3 in Copenhagen after four days:

1. Rasmussen/Morkov 265
2. Lampater/Kalz 216
3. Grasmann/Morkov 185



After three days Morkov/Beethoven was leading the amateur six day. However, it was only with one point.

Even earlier

"After a 35 year absence, six-day racing returns to it's birthplace, London!"

Live on Eurosport 18-23rd October so overlaps a day with the European Champs. Might not have coverage of the first day

I went on Monday and Friday. Monday was a slow start in attendance and ambience, by Friday the place was pretty full and a great atmosphere
