Reigning Madison world champions Alex Rasmussen and Michael Mørkøv convincingly lead the 69th Gent Six Day after the opening night. The Danish duo accumulated 98 points and lead the second place team of Iljo Keisse and Roger Kluge by 24 points. Two points behind Keisse and Kluge in third place is the Swiss team of Bruno Risi and Franco Marvulli.

"We were ahead of things all evening," said Mørkøv. "It took us a while, though, to get to know the track and it cost us the victory in our favorite discipline [the flying lap] in which we were beaten by the Swiss [Risi and Marvulli] by 0.01 seconds. Although we missed out on this single victory the track seemed tailor-made for us. Every evening, we have two time trials to look forward to and many points to win.
