The series of bad luck continues for the Munich Six Days race, as German rider and defending champion Robert Bartko apparently will have to drop out due to injury, and the audience was once again smaller than hoped for.
His partner, Roger Kluge, rode the rest of the evening with Belgian Kenny de Ketele, whose previous partner had to drop out due to illness.
For the second night in a row, the race drew fewer fans than it had hoped for. Organiser Klaus Cyron had earlier indicated that if the attendance continues to be so low, future races will not be held. Most recently, the six-day races in Stuttgart and Dortmund have been cancelled.
