The Six Days of Ghent is a combination of top sport and entertainment for six days, unique in its experience. Riders doing laps on the track and thousands of partygoers doing polonaises in the center square, drinking pints until the last laps and then getting stuck into the party atmosphere. Artists also come to perform every day.
Lindsay De Vylder and Robbe Ghys are the defending champions and top favorites and can write history with a new victory. They are challenged by the Olympic top duo Benjamin Thomas and Fabio Van den Bossche and the German European champions Roger Kluge and Theo Reinhardt. We will know the winner on Sunday. In addition, there is also a Future Six Days for young people, a two-day event for women and the G-athletes are also discussed again.
