Rasmussen/Morkov make a charge on Bartko/Kluge

On the third day of the 99th version of the six-day race in Berlin, Team Saxo Bank's Michael Mørkøv and Alex Rasmussen convincingly demonstrated that they are back in peak shape and ready to go for the overall victory:

"Tonight, we were both feeling strong and we managed to retrieve some of the points that we lost yesterday. After a rather difficult Friday, everything went smooth tonight. We were constantly in control of the situation which resulted in our first victory in tonight's big hunt.

"We took the win in front of Bartko-Kluge. It all seems to become a showdown between us and them. However, the Dutch couple [Schep/Stam] is always dangerous. They are always in the fight for victory even though they do not make any big gestures along the way, " said Mørkøv, who is recovering from a crash earlier this year in Rotterdam.

"I am now riding without any pain in the knee which is taped up before each race. It is liberating to be able to ride without pain killers because I now know that the knee will not be further burdened. We have great confidence after Saturday's hunt and we definitely feel ready for next week's six-day race on home ground in Ballerup, Copenhagen. We have nothing to lose here in Berlin and we are going for the win in this 99th edition of the race, " he concluded.

The conditions seem promising prior to next week's six-day race in Copenhagen where the Danish audience undoubtedly is looking forward to watching their favorites at their very best.
