You made a slight typo with the Gent dates, my friend.
A couple of other races are Zurich 26-29 November,
which is not a full six nights, and Copenhagen 29
January-3 February 2015.

I think Terpstra/Havik will take it.

Live on Eurosport at 19:30

 

[del1962]

So the lap that Tepstra gained in the Derny wasn't given, anyone know why?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Not sure, conflicting info. Maybe the derny, perhaps the elimination.

There doesn't seem to be any official info on the web site.

 

[Akuryo]

De Buyst and Ligthart get over 400 but not anothe lap?!
But I'm happy for Terpstra and especially Havik after the accident of his grandad.

 

[oldcrank]

So the lap that Tepstra gained in the Derny wasn't given, anyone know why?

There has to be at least one member of every team in a race
for a lap gain to count (except Elimination races, where laps
gained never count). So if it was just a portion of the field
or eight teams, as the derny races usually are, laps gained
do not count as per UCI rule 3.2.245.

Bonus laps can't be gained in the final madison. Laps must be gained by real distance in that event.

Final classification:

1 Niki Terpstra (NED) / Yoeri Havik (NED) 0 340
2 Jasper de Buyst (BEL) / Pim Ligthart (NED) -1 405

10 Christian Kos (NED) / Patrick Kos (NED) -38 88
11 Guy East (USA) / Daniel Holloway (USA) -38 47
DNF Didier Caspers (NED) / Melvin van Zijl (NED)

Anybody know if Terpstra is scheduled for Gent?

Anybody know if Terpstra is scheduled for Gent?

Thanks for clearing that up for me. And for your question: I doubt it. He wasn't at the start line last year. And since Keisse is teaming up with Cavendish ...
But he will ride Rotterdam with Keisse again. That I know for sure.

It is frustrating when the eurosport commentators don't know the rules though

yep, this one in particular can be critical, but I would cut them some slack this time around as its not often we get six days on Eurosport.

Where I live, Amsterdam is the first 6 day they've shown as far as I know.

Pretty remarkable considering the low cost of production etc.

But of course there got to be an audience for it to work.

oh, and also this:

Is that real? Whats the story with the cat?

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Not a lot of story to tell. Suddenly there was a cat on the track. They paused the race to catch it. Nobody (riders nor cat) got injured

The venue ('t kuipke in Ghent) is in a shamfully bad condition, so my guess is it got in from the outside through some hole in the wall. Journalists are trying to find out the owner.

you can see it on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=setdl8H7e2I#t=40

[Dazed and Confused]

After 4 nights:
1 Mark Cavendish (GBR) / Iljo Keisse (BEL) 0 260
2 Leif Lampater (GER) / Silvan Dillier (SUI) 0 217
3 Jasper De Buyst (BEL) / Kenny De Ketele (BEL) -1 298
4 Alex Rasmussen (DEN) / Marc Hester (DEN) -1 207

7 Albert Torres (ESP) / David Muntaner (ESP) -3 118
8 Glenn O'Shea (AUS) / Shane Archbold (NZL) -8 154
9 Morgan Kneisky (FRA) / Vivien Brisse (FRA) -12 57
10 Ivan Savitsky (RUS) / Viktor Manakov (RUS) -13 95

Still a 4 (perhaps 5) way competition.
Could be difficult to control for Keisse/Cav as we more forward.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ghent 6 days.
Standing with only 1 more night to go:

1 Mark Cavendish (GBR) / Iljo Keisse (BEL) 0 330
2 Jasper De Buyst (BEL) / Kenny De Ketele (BEL) -1 378
3 Leif Lampater (GER) / Silvan Dillier (SUI) -1 272
4 Alex Rasmussen (DEN) / Marc Hester (DEN) -1 254
5 Nick Stöpler (NED) / Otto Vergaerde (BEL) -4 198
6 Moreno De Pauw (BEL) / Christian Grasmann (GER) -6 190
7 Albert Torres (ESP) / David Muntaner (ESP) -7 148
8 Glenn O'Shea (AUS) / Shane Archbold (NZL) -13 174

I think De buyst/De ketele will take it, but the competition is very tight.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Just finishing off the Gent Six days. Final result:
1 Jasper De Buyst (BEL) / Kenny De Ketele (BEL) 0 440
2 Mark Cavendish (GBR) / Iljo Keisse (BEL) 0 394
3 Leif Lampater (GER) / Silvan Dillier (SUI) -1 311
4 Alex Rasmussen (DEN) / Marc Hester (DEN) -2 279
5 Nick Stöpler (NED) / Otto Vergaerde (BEL) -7 215
6 Moreno De Pauw (BEL) / Christian Grasmann (GER) -10 253
7 Albert Torres (ESP) / David Muntaner (ESP) -15 153
8 Glenn O'Shea (AUS) / Shane Archbold (NZL) -21 186
9 Ivan Savitsky (RUS) / Viktor Manakov (RUS) -26 186
10 Michael Vingerling (NED) / Yoeri Havik (NED) -29 109
11 Morgan Kneisky (FRA) / Vivien Brisse (FRA) -29 73
12 Lucas Liß (GER) / Andreas Müller (GER) -30 40
13 Didier Caspers (NED) / Melvin Van Zijl (NED) -31 6

It was an intense and nerve wrecking finale with De Buyst/De Ketele managing to hold Keisse/Cav at bay.


Next stop is Zurich with a four night show. The event runs from 26/11 - 29/11 with the following lineup:

1 David Muntaner (ESP) / Albert Torres (ESP)
2 Mark Cavendish (GBR) / Iljo Keisse (BEL)
3 Andreas Müller (AUT) / Andreas Graf (AUT)
4 Roger Kluge (GER) / Lucas Liss (GER)
5 Kenny De Ketele (BEL) / Jasper De Buyst (BEL)
6 Silvan Dillier (SUI) / Leif Lampater (GER)
7 Tristan Marguet (SUI) / Marcel Kalz (GER)
8 Claudio Imhof (SUI) / Gaël Suter (SUI)
9 Christian Grasmann (GER) / Jan-André Freuler (SUI)
10 Luke Roberts (AUS) / Glenn O’Shea (AUS)
11 Alex Rasmussen (DEN) / Marc Hester (DEN)
12 Morgan Kneisky (FRA) / Vivien Brisse (FRA)

Official website: http://www.sixdays-zuerich.ch/index.php?id=102

Keisse/Cav gotta be pretty fired up by now, but this will be hotly contested for sure.
