Preview

The European six day season resumes after its Christmas break with the 37th running of the "Bremer Sechstagerennen". Commencing on January 11 in Bremen's Stadthalle, race director Patrick Sercu has attracted a 12 team field that includes German national champion, Rolf Aldag. His partner is Silvio Martinello and the pair are expected to be amongst the top teams.

Swiss dynamic duo, Bruno Risi and Kurt Betschart will be riding together, while Scott McGrory will partner Matthew Gilmore again. The latter two have been keeping their engines ticking over during the Tasmanian Christmas carnival series and will at least have some racing kilometres in their legs. World madison champions Stephan Steinweg and Erik Weisspfennig will also feature in Bremen.

There are some other interesting partnerships: Marco Villa (Ita)/Guido Fulst (Ger), Adriano Baffi (Ita)/Juan Llaneras (Spa), and Etienne Dewilde (Bel)/Jimmi Madsen (Den). Last year's winner, Andreas Kappes will be racing with Andreas Beikirch.

The official starter on January 11 will be the great Eddy Merckx - winner of 17 six day races himself, and 15 with Patrick Sercu.
