Madsen/Nothstein regain the lead in Gent
Danish/American pair Jimmi Madsen/Marty Nothstein have regained their outright lead in the Six Days of Ghent after the third day of racing. The duo finished with 225 points, well clear of Risi/Betschart (176 pts) and Gilmore/Wiggins (170 pts). The top five teams are all still on the same lap, as the race reached its halfway point.
There were two sessions held today, making for a marathon day of track racing. Starting with a Matinee, the riders competed in six events including sprints, a one lap time trial, elimination races and two derny races. The action resumed later on with a full evening session. Although Madsen/Nothstein lost a lap in the first madison event contested, they regained it when they won the second one, with only Kappes/Beikirch able to stay with them. With the bonus lap that they won after passing 200 points, Madsen/Nothstein could therefore end the night on the same lap as the other teams, but with a greater points total. If they continue to pick up points at the rate they have been, they should hang on to win the Ghent Six. But, there are five other teams still very much in the hunt.
