The Gent Six Day is set to come down to a dramatic finale in 'T Kuipke velodrome on Sunday evening, with four pairs on the same lap heading into the final day of racing. 

On the fifth day on Saturday, Jasper De Buyst and Tosh Van der Sande took the overall lead from Kenny De Ketele and Robbe Ghys. However, De Ketele and Ghys are just one point behind and are on the same lap, as are the pairings of Mark Cavendish-Iljo Keisse and Roger Kluge-Theo Reinhardt.
