Day 3 - February 3

Gilmore & McGrory move into thin lead

Jimmy Hansen and Etienne Dewilde proved too strong for the rest of the pack, coming out victorious after the first pursuit of the Copenhagen six days on Sunday. After a few quiet laps, the first attacks pushed the tempo considerably. The high-speed pursuit suited the stronger constellations in the field, providing them with ample opportunity to show off their skills. Thus, the crowd witnessed a fine display of track cycling, with great performances by riders like Sørensen and Høj.

After the first pursuit, the Danish hometown boys Sandstød and Madsen dropped to third spot overall. The Swiss supermen Risi/Betschart took over the lead, with Gilmore/McGrory trailing close behind.

Action heated up as the pairs five, six and seven initiated a spirited teamwork effort that brought the Danish stars back in tonight's pursuit. Gilmore and McGrory kept everybody on their toes, but it was all square before the last ten minutes of the Sunday night action. Eventually it was all down to pair number seven and ten, and in this fight Gilmore and McGrory had the strongest legs tonight.

Gilmore/McGrory are in the lead, with Sandstød/Madsen and Risi/Betschart following close behind.
