With Frank Vandenbroucke having scratched, Matthew Gilmore was left without a partner.
But today Patrick Sercu, the organizer and himself a prodigious Six-Day winner, announced that
former Olympic Champion, Robert Bartko from Germany would partner Gilmore. Bartko, partnered with
Guido Fulst, pulled off a spectacular final night surge to win the last Berlin Six-day.
Another small change, and one which will not matter unless you are watching the event live is
that the Villa-Stocher and Liska-Zabka pairs have switched numbers with Villa-Stocher now slated
to wear number 6 instead of number 8 as originally intended.
The startlist otherwise is believed to be final as of today.
1 Matthew Gilmore (Bel) - Robert Bartko (Ger)
2 Scott McGrory (Aus) - Luke Roberts (Aus)
3 Bruno Risi (Swi) - Kurt Betschart (Swi)
4 Robert Slippens (Ned) - Danny Stam (Ned)
5 Franco Marvulli (Swi) - Alex.Aeschbach (Swi)
6 Marco Villa (Ita) - Franz Stocher (Aut)
7 Andreas Kappes (Ger) - Gerd Dörich (Ger)
8 Martin Liska (Slk) - Jozef Zabka (Slk)
9 M.Pronk (Hol) - Wouter V. Mechelen (Bel)
10 Jimmy Madsen (Den) - Robert Hayles (Gbr)
11 Iljo Keisse (Ger) - Andreas Beikirch (Ger)
12 Steven de Neef (Zaf) - J-P. Van Zyl (Zaf)
13 Robert Downing (Gbr) - Russell Downing (Gbr)
