Day 5 - August 23

Koesel, Freed Win Day 5

Wayne Cook and Ronnie Sink had a half-lap gap on the field and then missed an exchange and lost it all to Dave Koesel and Mark Freed on the final lap of the 25-minute Madison in Day 5 as the Detroit 6 Day Bicycle Race continued Saturday, Aug. 25. Racing is presented by the Nas-Track Madison Racing League at the Velodrome at Bloomer Park in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Koesel and Freed won the first sprint and were the leaders of the bike race when Sink and Cook attacked. Although Sink and Cook opened it up, an ill-timed exchange forced Cook - at the end of his rotation - to do double duty in the final sprint. Set up to win, instead they placed third for the evening, behind Koesel and Freed in first and the team of Andre Champoux and Christopher Hughes in second.

The final day of the Detroit Six Day is Sunday, Aug. 24. Racing begins at 3 p.m. at the Velodrome at Bloomer Park. There is no admission charge to the race.
