Six Days of Munich - TRGermany, November 9-14, 20001999 Results Preview Start list Past Winners
PreviewThe 37th Six Days of Munich starts on Thursday night, November 9 in Munich's famous Olympia Halle. Munich traditionally attracts the world's best track riders plus big stars from the road, though history shows the road stars need considerable track experience to mix it with the banked oval specialists. 15 teams are down to start, including Dortmund winner Erik Zabel (who will partner Robert Bartko), Olympic champion Scott McGrory (who will partner Jens Lehmann instead of Brett Aitken, who is injured), madison World Champions Erik Weisspfennig/Stephan Steinweg, the popular Belgian pair Etienne de Wilde and Matthew Gilmore, Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart, who came close to winning in Dortmund, the traditional Italian pair of Silvio Martinello/Marco Villa and British riders Bradley Wiggins/Rob Hayles (3rd in Grenoble). The sprint contest pits the team of reigning world champion Jan van Eijden and world kieren champion Jens Fiedler, both of Germany, against France's Florian Rousseau and Laurent Gane, both also former world champions Start List Pairs 1 Erik Zabel (Ger)/Robert Bartko (Ger) Franziskaner 2 Scott McGrory (Aus)/Jens Lehmann (Ger) Generali-Versicherungen 3 Erik Weißpfennig (Ger)/Stefan Steinweg (Ger) Stadtwerke München 4 Adriano Baffi (Ita)/Guido Fulst (Ger) Stadler 5 Bruno Risi (Swi)/Kurt Betschart (Swi) Bayerische Runfunkwerbung 6 Etienne de Wilde (Bel)/Matthew Gilmore (Aus) Team Coca-Cola 7 Robert Sassone (Fra)/Jean-Michel Tessier (Fra) Haberl Gastronomie 8 Silvio Martinello (Ita)/Marco Villa (Ita) Allianz Vermögens-Bank 9 Frank Kowatschitsch (Ger)/Jan Schaffrath (Ger) Fit-Plus Fitness 10 Jimmi Madsen (Den)/Andreas Beikirch (Ger) AMD 11 Frank Corvers (Bel)/Lorenzo Lapage (Bel) Asado 12 Mario Vonhof (Ger)/Gerd Dörich (Ger) ZSD 13 Christian Weber (Swi)/Ronnie Lauke (Ger) Therme 1 Bad Füssing 14 Lars Teutenberg (Ger)/Christian Lademann (Ger) Sixtus 15 Bradley Wiggins (GBr)/Bob Hayles (GBr) Alba Sprinters Jens Fiedler (Ger)/Jan van Eijden (Ger) Florian Rousseau (Fra)/Laurent Gane (Fra) Past Winners1999 Silvio Martinello/Andreas Kappes 1998 Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart 1997 Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart 1996 Adriano Baffi/Giovanni Lombardi 1995 Etienne de Wilde/Erik Zabel 1994 Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart 1993 Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart 1992 Urs Freuler/Olaf Ludwig 1991 Andreas Kappes/Etienne de Wilde 1990 Danny Clark/Tony Doyle 1989 Andreas Kappes/Etienne de Wilde 1988 Danny Clark/Tony Doyle 1987 Urs Freuler/Dietrich Thurau 1986 Danny Clark/Dietrich Thurau 1985 Urs Freuler/Rene Pijnen 1984 Gerd Frank/Hans-Hendrik Oersted 1983 Rene Pijnen/Urs Freuler 1982 Patrick Sercu/Rene Pijnen 1981 Danny Clark/Don Allan 1980 Danny Clark/Don Allan 1979 Patrick Sercu/Dietrich Thurau 1978 Patrick Sercu/Gregor Braun 1977 Patrick Sercu/Eddy Merckx 1976 Wilfried Peffgen/Albert Fritz 1975 Rene Pijnen/Guenther Haritz 1974 Graeme Gilmore/Sigi Renz 1973 Rene Pijnen/Leo Duyndam 1972 Wolfgang Schulze/Sigi Renz 1954 Hans Preiskeit/Ludwig Hoermann 1953 Jean Roth/Walter Bucher 1952 Alfred Strom/Ludwig Hoermann 1951 Emile Carrara/Guy Lapebie 1950 II Camile de Kuysscher/Odiel van den Meerschaut 1950 I Robert Naeye/Rene Adriaenssens 1949 Robert Naeye/Maurice Depauw 1933 Oskar Tietz/Franz Lehmann |
