Gilmore/Bartko take over
At the end of night 2 of the Ghent Six, Belgian/German pairing Matthew Gilmore/Robert Bartko have taken the overall lead ahead of Iljo Keisse/Andreas Beikirch and Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart, the three teams all on the same lap and separated by 14 points. However, once Risi/Betschart pass the 100 point mark, they will earn a bonus lap and should move into the outright lead during the third day. Whether they can keep hold of it is another matter.
Gilmore and Bartko performed well in the opening Madison, winning it from Teutenberg/Roberts and Risi/Betschart. Another Gent local, Iljo Keisse, was on fire in the derny races and teamed up with his partner Andreas Beikirch to win the team elimination and the second Madison, catapulting the pair up the rankings by the end of the night.
