Six Days of Stuttgart - 6D

Germany, January 19-24, 2001

Day 4 - January 22

McGrory/Gilmore maintain lead

Belgian-Australian duo Matthew Gilmore and Scott McGrory are back at the top of the leaderboard after night 4 of the Six Days of Stuttgart. The pair put a lap into Italians Silvio Martinello and Marco Villa, although they are slightly trailing on points (233 compared with 257). Germans Andreas Kappes and Gerd Dörich are also a threat, finishing on the same lap as Martinello/Villa in third place overall. Some way back are Juan Llaneras and Guido Fulst, on 127 points and 2 laps behind.

Adriano Baffi/Etienne de Wilde beat Lars Teutenberg/Frank Kowatschitsch in the first madison (30 minutes), while world champions Stefan Steinweg/Erik Weisspfennig beat Martinello/Villa and Kappes/Dörich in the second madison (200 laps/57 km). Thus, most of the points went to teams that were unable to threaten the overall classification.
