ZURICH SIX-DAY

The Swiss pair, Bruno Risi e Kurt Betschart were victorious in the 43rd running of the Seigiorni di Zurigo beating the Italian duo of Martinello-Villa.

For Risi, grand master of the boards last season, this was his first victory this year.

The victory came as a result of a spectacular "Americaine" (Madison) of 75 kilometers (300 giri/laps) which cloded the Six-Day race.

In the end, Villa-Martinello did not contest the victory of Risi and Betschart, giving them the victory by a mere six points.

There had apparently been some discussion as to who actually won.

 The circuit continues with:
  Colonia dal 27 dicembre al 1 gennaio/jan
        (Martinello and Villa non starters in this "unofficial" Six).
  Brema/Bremen (11-16 gennaio)
  Stoccarda/Stuttgart (19-24 gennaio)
  Copenaghen (26-31 gennaio)
  Milano (6-11 febbraio/feb)
