The top two teams dominated the madison events, with World Champions Risi/Marvulli taking the first race and new leaders Keisse/Bartko claiming victory in the second, giving them just enough points to overhaul the Swiss teams lead Netherlands duo Robert Slippens and Danny Stam are on the same lap as the leaders in third place, with all other teams at least two laps behind After the event Race Director Patrick Sercu commented on how disappointed he was with the British team: "Before the start I had hoped for at least four top-teams, but unfortunately Mark Cavendish didnt bring the right form with him to Ghent, and already on the first evening they lost a lot of laps, which is a pity because Wiggins is riding OK" 
Adam Blythe slipped to second in the UIV Competition with Kennaugh In UIV Talents Cup Day One leaders Peter Kennaugh and Adam Blythe slipped to second overall after Belgium's Davy Tuytens and Tosh van der Sande won the Madison and claimed enough points to move past the British duo by seven points, with one day of that competition remaining Day Two Results 1 Iljo Keisse (BEL) Robert Bartko (GER), 150 pts, 2 Bruno Risi Franco Marvulli (SUI), 149 pts, 3 Danny Stam Robert Slippens (NED), 116 pts, at 2 laps: 4 Andreas Beikirch Erik Mohs (GER), 79 pts, 5 Kenny de Ketele (BEL) Marco Villa (ITA), 75 pts, at 3 laps: 6 Tim Mertens (BEL) Andreas Mόller (GER), 59 pts, at 5 laps: 7 Luke Roberts (AUS) Marc Hester (DEN), 41 pts, at 8 laps: 8 Dmitri de Fauw (BEL) Alexander Aeschbach (SUI), 97 pts, at 9 laps: 9 Petr Lazar Alois Kankovsky (CZE), 40 pts, at 14 laps: 10 Nicky Cocquyt Steven de Neef (BEL), 22 pts, at 15 laps: 11 Wim Stroetinga Matthι Pronk (NED), 23 pts, at 19 laps: 12 Bradley Wiggins Mark Cavendish (GBR), 32 pts, at 30 laps: 13 Steve Schets Ingmar Depoortere (BEL), 47 pts UIV Day Two Results 1 Davy Tuytens Tosh van der Sande (BEL), 30 pts, 2 Peter Kennaugh Adam Blythe (GBR), 23 pts, 3 Pavel Subrt Marek Mixa (CZE), 6 pts, 4 Jesper Mψrkψv Christian Ranneries (DEN), 5 pts, at 1 lap: 5 Dave Mertens Walt de Winter (BEL), 13 pts, 6 Tristan Marquet Renι Schibli (SUI), 10 pts, 7 Guy East Austin Carroll (USA), 7 pts, at 2 laps: 8 Maarten Vlasseleer Gert Jan van Immerseel (BEL), 5 pts, at 3 laps: 9 David Wiswell Jackie Simes IV, 1 pts, at 4 laps: 10 Kierian de Fauw Brian Ligneel (BEL), 5 pts, at 5 laps: 11 Glen Foubert Thomas Sprangers (BEL), 0 pts, at 7 laps: 12 Gerd Steijn Harm Steijn (NED), 0 pts Day One: Kennaugh/Blythe lead in GhentThe British team Peter Kennaugh Adam Blythe defended the British interest in the best manor during the first stage of the UIV Talents Cup in Ghent 6-Days. Five teams ended the first Madison in the same lap, with the British boys as winners, two points ahead of Belgium team Tuytens Van der Sande. And the report from Ghent tells us, that Kennaugh - Blythe was also the team with the greatest fighting-spirit on the opening day. Like they have done in all the previous 6-Days of this winter the Swiss World Champions started with a rush also in the "Zeesdaagse Vlaanderen Gent". After the first evening they are the overall leaders, also if it is only with 6 points to Keisse Bartko og with in total five teams on zero. 
Yet again Marvulli (above) and Risi lead at 6D Comp Slippens Stam won the first chase of the 6-Days (40 Min. + 10 laps) with Risi Marvulli, Keisse Bartko and Beikirch Mohs in the same lap. The last team, Schets De Portere, lost 9 laps during that chase, but the biggest losers were no doubt the recommended British team Wiggins Cavendish, regarded as one of the top-team but losing 7 laps during the 40 Minutes and losing another three laps during the second chase! 
A disappointing performance from Wiggins/Cavendish The second chase (30 Min. + 10 laps) was won by De Ketele Villa with Roberts Hester second, those two teams being one lap ahead of the top-teams. De Ketele Villa thus joined the top-teams in the overall and Robert Hester, together with another positive surprise of the first evening, Mertens Mόller, are only one lap down Day One Results 1 Bruno Risi Franco Marvulli (SUI), 87 pts, 2 Iljo Keisse (BEL) Robert Bartko (GER), 81 pts, 3 Danny Stam Robert Slippens (NED), 50 pts, 4 Andreas Beikirch Erik Mohs (GER), 45 pts, 5 Kenny de Ketele (BEL) Marco Villa (ITA), 40 pts, at 1 lap: 6 Luke Roberts (AUS) Marc Hester (DEN), 20 pts, 7 Tim Mertens (BEL) Andreas Mόller (GER), 20 pts, at 4 laps: 8 Dmitri de Fauw (BEL) Alexander Aeschbach (SUI), 51 pts, 9 Petr Lazar Alois Kankovsky (CZE), 18 pts, at 5 laps: 10 Nicky Cocquyt Steven de Neef (BEL), 7 pts, at 6 laps: 11 Wim Stroetinga Matthι Pronk (NED), 8 pts, at 10 laps: 12 Bradley Wiggins Mark Cavendish (GBR), 22 pts, at 12 laps: 13 Steve Schets Ingmar Depoortere (BEL), 16 pts UIV Day One Results 1 Peter Kennaugh Adam Blythe (GBR), 13 pts, 2 Davy Tuytens Tosh van der Sande (BEL), 11 pts, 3 Jesper Mψrkψv Christian Ranneries (DEN), 2 pts, 4 Tristan Marquet Renι Schibli (SUI), 1 pts, 5 Pavel Subrt Marek Mixa (CZE), 0 pts, at 1 lap: 6 Guy East Austin Carroll (USA), 4 pts, 7 Dave Mertens Walt de Winter (BEL), 2 pts, at 2 laps: 8 Maarten Vlasseleer Gert Jan van Immerseel (BEL), 0 pts, 9 David Wiswell Jackie Simes IV, 0 pts, at 3 laps: 10 Kierian de Fauw Brian Ligneel (BEL), 0 pts, at 4 laps: 11 Glen Foubert Thomas Sprangers (BEL), 0 pts, 12 Gerd Steijn Harm Steijn (NED), 0 pts |
