Leif Lampater won the 73rd 6-day race in Gent together with his partner Jasper De Buyst. After both had to give up the lead to the duo Iljo Keisse and Wim Stroetinga the previous night, they regained the lead position in the last chase. Kenny De Ketele and Gijs Van Hoecke came in third.
"Finally another great victory", Lampater said happily via Twitter immediately after the win. His partner De Buyst is likely to reciprocate this joy, especially as he gifted himself with the victory on his 20th birthday. Franco Marvulli was also happy. The Swiss ended his career after the winter track season. He received a standing ovation from the Ghent audience for his achievements.
