Standing after night 5:

Heribert from Austria writes:

Baffi/Villa are the best in this 6 days. But how important is for Germany (1st 6 Days after the falling of the wall in the new stadium, opened last week) a German win ?

I have seen the German organizers "do much" to guarantee a German victory, therefore I believe the team with Olaf Ludwig will win. (Heribert attended the early nights)

6 cyclists had crashes because of the new track, DeWilde and Madsen out, great problems for Clark and Risi - they don't know if they will be able to finish the 6 days.
