Erik Zabel and Silvio Martinello continue to be at the top of the leaderboard in the Six Days of Munich, which they have led since the first night. The experienced pair are currently a lap up on Swiss duo Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart and Germans Andreas Kappes/Andreas Beikirch. These two teams will regain that lap once they reach 200 points, but will have plenty of work to do to catch Zabel/Martinello.
Other candidates for a bonus lap are Scott McGrory/Matthew Gilmore, who are very close to the leaders on points, but will need to take a lap to be on level pegging.
Dutchmen Danny Stam and Robert Slippens won the first madison of the evening in front of Kappes/Beikirch and Baffi/Villa. However, Zabel/Martinello bounced back in the second madison to win from Risi/Betschart.
USA's Jame Carney and Marty Nothstein are in last position, 36 laps behind. However, they are still crowd pleasers with Nothstein riding 10.32 seconds to break the one lap (200m) track record. The pair combined to win the 1 km teams time trial, also breaking the track record in a time of 56.96 seconds.
