Whilst most pairs lost one or more laps on Night Five, a storming Scott McGrory-Matthew Gilmore pair earned a bonus lap and stole another on the field to join Slippens-Stam and Kappes-Beikirch on the Zero Lap, and in fact are now in second place as they lead Kappes-Beikirch by a slim margin of two points. Last years winners, Risi-Betschart are only one lap back with a bonus lap only eight points ahead. The rest of the pairs are too far back to realistically challenge for victory and although Risi-Betschart will undoubtably join the three leaders on the Zero Lap, victory for them will depend upon them being able to steal a lap as a 50 points deficit is rather more than they will be able to expunge. But whatever the outcome, the spectators will be guaranteed some nail biting action as the Munich Six Day goes into the final night tomorrow (Tuesday) Standings after Fifth night, Monday 1 Robert Slippens - Danny Stam (NED), 260 Points 2 Scott McGrory (AUS) - Matthew Gilmore (BEL), 252 Points 3 Andreas Kappes - Andreas Beikirch (GER), 250 Points Down 1 lap : 4 Bruno Risi - Kurt Betschart (SUI), 192 Points Down 5 laps: 5 Robert Bartko (GER) - Franco Marvulli (SUI), 182 Points Down 8 laps: 6 Lars Teutenberg - Christian Lademann (GER), 98 Points Down 12 laps: 7 Marco Villa (ITA) - Thorsten Rund (GER), 97 Points Down 14 laps: 8 Luke Roberts (AUS) - Jimmi Madsen (DEN), 78 Points Down 22 laps: 9 Leif Lampater (GER) - Alexander Aeschbach (SUI), 80 Points Down 23 laps: 10 Franz Stocher (AUT) - Christian Grasmann (GER), 56 Points Down 25 laps: 11 Stefan Löffler - Andreas Müller (GER), 65 Points Down 27 laps: 12 Wouter van Mechelen - Iljo Keisse (BEL), 117 Points Down 30 laps: 13 Gerd Dörich - Frank Kowatschitsch (GER), 39 Points Down 32 laps: 14 Mikhail Ignatiev - Alexei Markov (RUS), 35 Points 15 Ronny Lauke - Erik Weisspfennig (GER), 19 Points Previous Nights Action Previous Winners (Source: SixDay Staff)
Vandenbroucke : Not contesting Ghent Six Day
Mon Nov 15 17:35:47 2004
Personal problems are the probable reason again. Frank Vandenbroucke, recently hired by the Mr. Bookmaker team, has advised that he will not be riding the Ghent Six Day event as he was scheduled to do. Vandenbroucke opted out of the currently running Munich event, where he was scheduled to race, at the last minutes without giving a reason. His Team Manager at Mr. Bookmaker advised that Vandenbroucke had personal problems which had prevented him from training and that he was not in condition to ride. It is understood that Frank is having trouble accepting the separation of his wife, Sarah Pinacci. Frank was slated to partner Matthew Gilmore in Ghent and the organizers are currently seeking a replacement. Source : VRT (Flemish)
