Iljo and Niki are up a lap after the opening night. Stroetinga looks the fastest, and with his partner Peter Schep, have the most points after night 1

night 2 - Terptsra & Keisse are still up 1 lap with Schep & Stoetinga adding more to their points lead. Danny Stam (in his last home 6) won the final madison of the night with his veteran partner Leon VanBonn

Iljo & Niki chased down attacks all night long and at the end of day 3, they are still ahead 1 lap (with Stam & VanBonn) but only 3rd in points. Keisse, DeKetel, Stoetinga, Stam, Bartko, Havik, and Jonkman all looked amazing, Terpstra and VanBonn looked a little tired, it's going to be a tough 3 nights ahead.

Iljo & Niki rode brilliantly again, going with the right attacks, chasing down all dangerous ones to stay 1 lap up going into the final 2 nights.

fantastic last night of racing, Schep/Stroetinga fought hard but couldn't get the extra lap, although they killed it in the points, and wound up 2nd. Havik/Stopler rode smart and hard to jump onto the podium in 3rd, and Niki Terpstra got his first Zesdaagse win with Iljo Keisse. I wonder if we will see this Quick-Step pairing again since Iljo didn't re-sign with them.
congrats to Danny Stam on his long, successful career.
