Jasper De Buyst and Leif Lampater may cling on to their lead thanks to the bonus lap that they won yesterday as they crossed the 300 points mark.

But the team lost a lap during the first Madison of the evening as Keisse/Stroetinga and De Ketele/Van Hoecke dictated the pace and proved to be the strongest teams in the race, lapping everybody else at least once. In the end Keisse/Stroetinga won the Madison as Keisse defeated Van Hoecke in the dash for the line.

Both Keisse/Stroetinga and De Ketele/Van Hoecke seem likely to make the 300 points mark and thus gain a lap which means that De Buyst/Lampater will have to break the 400 points mark or lap the two pursuing teams. The latter option doesn’t seem plausible after the events of yesterday.

The first Madison saw the peloton ride at a furious pace and several teams were in great difficulties. Franco Marvulli, now a pale shadow of the once formidable rider that he used to be, was neutralized for most of the evening.

In the second Madison of the evening the big guns took it easy, allowing minor teams to step into the limelight with German duo Bartko/Kalz taking the honours. That was some small consolation for the German duo which has had a very disappointing race so far. The two promising Swiss riders Silvan Dillier and Tristan Marguet also showed that they appear destined for great things on the track by finishing as runners up in the second Madison.
