High expectations for Ghent Six

The Zesdaagse Vlaanderen Gent (Ghent Six) starts on Tuesday, November 23 in Gent's Kuipke, which is located at the centre of the Citadelpark. Although there will be no Frank Vandenbroucke to draw the crowds, his replacement Robert Bartko should be a valuable ally for local favourite Matthew Gilmore. Other favourites include Bruno Risi/Kurt Betschart, Scott McGrory/Luke Roberts, Robert Slippens/Danny Stam, Franco Marvulli/Alexandre Aeschbach and Andreas Kappes/Gerd Dörich.

Race director Patrick Sercu has great expectations for the race and the public interest is enormous; tickets for Tuesday evening have been sold out.
