Ghent Night Two

The Second night in Ghent was Fast and Furious and there were major changes in
the leadership during the second night at the 64th Vlaanderen Six. The
leaders after Night One, Villa-Stocher, are now back in seventh spot and two
laps in arrears with no 100 points bonus lap
imminent.

Slippens-Stam, as usual are pairing exceptionally well together. They won the
flying lap time trial (166 meters in 8.86 sec., and narrowly missed winning
the 500 meter event when Marvulli-Aeschbach clocked 28.49 seconds to best the
Dutchmens 28.89. Gilmore-Bartko, leading the field at the end of night two,
seem to be working together better than expected for such a last minue
pairing, but Risi-Betschart are on a roll, currently in second spot but
lacking only two points for the bonua lap that will put them a lap ahead of
Gilmore-Bartko

Iljo Keisse, the young Home Turf rider brought the crowd to its feet
though. He won the second Hunt (40 minutes + 10 laps) with his partner Andy
Beikirch and drew the roars of the crowd continually for his gutsy riding. It
is certain that this young man will be heard from again in future Sixes after
he has completed his
apprenticeship.
