Night 6 - January 11, 2000

The final night's racing of the 89th Berlin Six Days saw another strong performance from Italians Martinello and Villa as they staved off all challenges to win by 50 points over the Germans Kappes and Pollack. In third place was the Australian-German combo of McGrory and Bartko who finished strongly on the night and almost gained enough for second place.

Although Swiss pair, Risi and Betschart have been fairly quiet during the race, they mounted a strong attack during the final chase, managing to gain a lap to finish fourth overall.
