November 25, 2005 – The third night of racing is always the measuring
stick to see which teams are in the running for a podium spot and
which teams are “just in the race”.

After the second derny heats Gilmore/Keisse are in first place with
169 points. The veterans Risi/Betschart are in second with only 97
points. When they reach the 100-point mark they will be credited
with one lap bonus and thus will gain a lap on the current leaders
(G/K).

In third place with 168 points, 1 lap behind Gilmore/Keisse is the
fast charging Potsdam Flyer, Robert Bartko (Ger) and his veteran
partner Scott McGrory (Aus). Last evening Bartko/McGrory won three
events and they are looking to repeat that effort again tonight. The
500m TimeTrial set the momentum in their favour as Bartko/McGrory won
by 1/100th of a second over their nearest competitors De
Fauw/Beikirch.

The real showdown began with the second Madison of the evening: 40
minutes plus 10 laps, averaging about 10-12 seconds a lap, around
this tight wooden track. The race began, not at high noon but at
12:08am and in less than two minutes of riding Bartko/McGrory
attacked attempting to gain a lap and the overall lead of this
six-day grind. The Dutch duo Slippens/Stam and the local favourites
Gilmore/Keisse were quick on their wheels.

Risi/Betschart were the next to go and “the chase” was on. Then Marty
Nothstein, the lone North American in the race was off the front with
the team of Grasmann/Hester and the youngest rider in the race 20
year old Kenny De Ketele in tow. Nearly ten minutes into the final
Madison, Bartko/McGrory attacked but were unable to break loose from
the pack as Gilmore/Keisse covered the break. Then it was Iljo
Keisse, to the roar of the partisan Gent crowd, who attacked with
Bartko right behind him.

The teams took a break from the constant attacking for about five
minutes, riding tempo at 50km/hr. The only real action being the
fluid high speed hand slinging of partners into the fray. Suddenly
Robert Slippens/Danny Stam were off the front hammering and in one
minute they lap the field; unbelievable. Slippens/Stam now join
Bartko/McGrory and Gilmore/Keisse at zero (0) laps. Risi/Betschart
were the next to gain a lap at 18 minutes

Then Nothstein/Llaneras, Gilmore/Keisse and Risi/Betschart hammered
off the front. The racing was fast and furious as the top four teams
took turns attacking. The up and comers; De Ketele/Aeschbach, De
Fauw/Beikirch, DeNeef/Schets were constantly chasing, attempting not
to lose laps.

At 32 minutes Bartko attacked again and immediately Gilmore/Keisse
were chasing. The teams traded attacks for the next few minutes and
then with only five laps to go Bartko/McGrory were tied in laps with
Gilmore/Keisse. In the end Bartko edged Gilmore, in the final sprint
to the line, winning the Madison.

The final events of the evening: the derny and keirin heats did
little to change the standings. Bartko/McGrory are in the lead with
202 points, Gilmore/Keisse in second with 190 points and in third is
Risi/Betschart with 106 points.

The crowds have been a sellout each night. Last night it was
estimated that the organizers had to turn away nearly one thousand
fans.
