Yes they did seem to have a long changeover as they stopped themselves from taking a lap at about 48 mins.Keisse and Morkopv take a sneaky lap and max points to shut down the Gent 6. That's his 5th title, looks like he'll be the next Sercu!
Their plan worked out nicely in the end.

Really please dfor him another one for the wall in the De Karper bar! I have to say I've been indifferent to on board cameras in road racing but it was brilliant being right in the mix on the track. also the sense of speed when Keisse put the hammer down he really shifted.
Some talk of him teaming up with Wiggins, that would be a pretty awesome pairing!0 -
First time I've watched 6 day racing. That final Madison was superb and tactically brilliant by Kiesse and Morkov. If it runs at the same time every year it is over my birthday so I might start planning a trip for next year.
Do it!! Though be aware that the cycling is at best an after thought
ILIJOOOOOOOO!!We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I'll try and put some of the photos of our night at the six up tomorrow."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

(Dunno if this will work)
Do we have to see pics of your bruises :shock: (nah, I can't see the pic so probably hasn't worked) 0 -
Loved it! Anyone considering going; do it.
It's such a tight venue and the track is so tight and steep - makes for great racing and a great atmosphere! An added bonus was revisiting the RvV museum in Oudenaarde and this time, Freddy Maertens was working.
Blimey, I knocked some ale back.Ben
