London Six Day – Day 2

Event Press Release

Six Day London was blown wide open in the final Madison Chase of Day 2 as Australians Callum Scotson and Cameron Meyer finished second to take a narrow overall lead.

Sitting outside the top three before the night’s final race, they were one of only two pairings to take a lap in the closing Chase, with their result enough to put them just four points ahead of the race winners Yoeri Havik and Roy Pieters in the overall standings.

Scotson and Meyer finished third on their Six Day London debut last year and have already stated their aim is to top the podium this year – with a second-day lead further evidence of their intent.

“It feels good to be leading, it took us a while to get into it – it’s a long way to come from Australia and a little bit of jet lag still,” said the world points race champion. “But we found out legs today and hopefully we continue improving from here – but it’s only a narrow lead so it’s going to be a tight fight all the way to the end, I’m sure of that.”

With Scotson adding: “We were going for the win in the Madison, got on the front foot early – going out there and trying to take a lap. It was nice to get that by ourselves and it was then up to the other teams to try and get one back – only one other team could and it was a two-way battle. Unfortunately we didn’t get the win in the last sprint but we’ve put ourselves in a good place for the rest of the six days.”

Day 2 began for the Six Day riders with a 40-lap derny victory for world omnium and Madison champion Benjamin Thomas – crossing the line ahead of Niklas Larsen and Peter Kennaugh. And Larsen continued his impressive form with a sterling 20-minute Madison Chase victory alongside Casper von Folsach, with Spain’s Sebastian Mora Vedri and Albert Torres taking second.

And there was more Danish success in the next race as Marc Hester and Casper Pedersen set the fastest time of the night in the two-lap Madison time trial to move to the top of the leaderboard with half of the teams now having set their time. Mora Vedri and Torres further asserted their authority in the team elimination, with the former beating Thomas in the final sprint to take the win and move into the Six Day London overall lead.

But they suffered in the 10km points race as Mark Cavendish got the crowd on their feet with a consummate points race performance – taking a lap with four other teams and racking up a total of 38 points to win the race ahead of Australia’s Callum Scotson von Folsach. “It’s only 40 laps so if I can’t boss that then I may as well give up my day job!” said the three-time world Madison champion.

“No, honestly that was hard, they’re good bike riders – I thought I could pick up some early ones but that wasn’t as easy as I thought. “But then once I got in that move, where the guys went before me and I just went across to it, it was good – but it was luck on my part. “It’s nice to win that last sprint, I was dying with a lap to go so thanks so much for all the support on the last lap because I was ready to just get off my bike.”

The penultimate race of the night saw Kenny de Ketele take a narrow victory over Cameron Meyer in the second 40-lap derny heat of the night and put the Belgians back into overall control going into the final 45-minute Madison Chase. The Six Day London lead changed hands twice in the opening third of the chase with first the Australians in the hotseat with their lap gain before Havik and Pieters stole a march on the rest.

But their finish in the final sprint was enough for Meyer and Scotson to leave the Lee Valley VeloPark with a smile on their faces.

Other Events

Away from the endurance riders, it was Kiwi Eddie Dawkins that ruled the sprinters’ competition, setting the fastest 200m flying lap time trial with a mark of 10.222s. He went on to beat Juan Peralta in a hotly-contested, shoulder-to-shoulder match sprint to move to within a point of the Spaniard in the overall standings. “That was two guys being as reckless as possible, trying to stop the other man get to the finish line first,” he said.

“Peralta is an absolute beast and I think he learnt it from running with the bulls! It took everything I had to get past him. That sort of battle is what I live on, racing like that and I continue to push the limits.”

Dawkins’ countryman Ethan Mitchell still leads the standings, however, after a second-place finish in the keirin – behind newly-crowned European champion Maximilian Levy – put him five points ahead of Peralta.

The second night opened in the same way as the first day, with Bryan Boussaer and Jules Hesters winning the second Madison of the U21 Talent Cup to go into the final day a lap and 26 points ahead of their closest rivals.  … continued after advert
