Villa/Stocher lead

After the first night of racing in Gent, Marco Villa and Franz Stocher have taken a one lap lead over the rest of the field, despite being well down on points. The pair did not lose any laps in either of the madisons, and now lead high points scorers Franco Marvulli/Alexander Aeschbach and Matthew Gilmore/Robert Bartko, with another three teams on the same lap.

Local boy Iljo Keisse together with Andreas Beikirch recorded a popular victory in the second madison of the evening, beating Gilmore/Bartko and Risi/Betschart. They finished the night in fifth place, still well in touch with the leaders.

In a blow for organisers Australian crowd favourite Scott McGrory was a late withdrawal due to illness. He has been replaced by Lars Teutenberg who rode with McGrory's countryman Luke Roberts.
