Others teams have already scored more than 200 points but the German pair had kept them in check and scored consistently during the fourth night of racing.
In the all-important Madison, they took a lap with Stam-Van Bon and Madsen-Hester and were faster in the final sprint. These three teams were then on the same lap along with Keisse-Schep and De Ketele-Lampater but during last race of the evening Bartko-Hondo reached the 200 points mark and collected their bonus lap and race lead.
