At the half way point the Stuttgart Six-Day looks decidely like a race between the two trios on the
Zero Lap for the top spot
Lars Teutenberg-Sven Teutenberg-Frank Kowatschitsch are currently back two laps in third spot with
Jean-Pierre Van Zyl-Matthew Gilmore-Marty Nothstein down three laps in fourth having lost another
lap on the third night. However the mixed squad, at 186 points, are close to a bonus lap which will
boost them from fourth to third spot on points and if they can refrain from losing any more laps.
Interestingly, there is slightly less chance of losing a lap at Stuttgart which is 3.5 trips to the
klick (285 meters) and Nothstein has been scoring well in the individual events.
The Van Zyl-Gilmore-Nothstein trio seem to have take rather well to the slightly larger than normal
'drome and don't seem to have difficulty with the three-up format which seems to be confusing some
teams slightly and in fact they won the Italian Time Trial a couple of nights ago, beating the Risi
team into second place and Stocher's trio into third.
( An Italian Time trial somewhat resembles a Team Sprint if you can visualize it with a flying start
but with just a single team on the track at once. )
