McGrory & Marvulli surprise leaders

Scott McGrory and Franco Marvulli are the surprise leaders of the Amsterdam Six after another night of well-attended and hectic racing at the Amsterdam Velodrome.

Overnight leaders Robert Slippens and Danny Stam initially strengthened their position by winning the team elimination, but their position looked more precarious after Bruno Risi win the second round of the Derny race.

In the Madison it became clear that the earlier racing had been the calm before the storm as Gilmore and Vandenbroucke almost immediately went on the attack, looking to repeat their victory of the previous night. However, Slippens and Stam chased them down, followed by Risi and Betschart, who then took their turn to attack. They gained a lap on the field and were soon followed by McGrory and Marvulli whose points advantage put them in the overall lead.
