The Program

Preview

The 39th Six Days of Munich will get under way at 9pm on the evening of Thursday, November 7 in Munich's Olympiapark velodrome. 14 professional teams will take part in the event, including top combinations such as Scott McGrory/Matthew Gilmore, Robert Slippens/Danny Stam, Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart and Andreas Kappes/Andreas Beikirch. In addition to these favourites, Australian Stuart O'Grady will team up with Italian Silvio Martinello. These two riders are currently holding the top two positions in the Dortmund Six after night 3 (O'Grady is with McGrory in second, Martinello is with Aldag in first) and will definitely be a threat to the rest.

McGrory, the Olympic Champion, said that "The Munich Six Days is like Wimbledon is to Tennis or the Tour de France is to road racing," and he together with his normal partner Matthew Gilmore will be doing his best to win it.

There will also be a sprint competition in Munich, with Australian World Champions Sean Eadie and Jobie Dajka riding along with Germans Rene Wolff and Jens Fiedler.
