Munich Six Day - Night One

Slippens - Stam and McGrory - Gilmore, equal on points, lead with 4 pairs on
the Zero Lap

Patrick Sercu, the organizer in Munich had to make some last minute changes to
the original Pairs.

Guido Fulst, still suffering from his injuries in the Dortmund Six Day was
unable to start, and Frank Vandenbroucke telephoned at the last minute to say
that he would not be on the start line. He gave no reason, but His
Mr. Bookmaker team manager, Hilaire Van der Schueren, told VRT
(Flemish Television) that Frank had personal problems and had not trained
sufficiently to start.

Sportdirector Sigi Renz, the Sports Director had to do some fast shuffling and
the revamped start list saw Marvulli - Aeschbach split up with Marvulli
partnering Bartko and Leif Lampater
pairing with Alexander Aeschbach. Luke Roberts was paired up with up with
Jimmi Madsen and a new Duo of Belgians Iljo Keisse and Wouter van Mechelen was
formed.

The four leading Pairs quickly established their dominance and by half way
through the nights racing Slippens - Stam and McGrory - Gilmore topped the
scoreboard equal on points with Risi - Betschart and Kappes - Beikirch in the
same lap.
