At the 6-day race in Gent, the Belgian Iljo Keisse caused another sensation after his magnificent performance on the fourth night. Together with his partner Wim Stroetinga, he dominated the big hunt with two round wins and snatched the top position from the leading duo of Leif Lampater and Jasper De Buyst. Both are now one lap behind Keisse and Stroetinga. However, they have the highest score of any team and should they be the first to break 400 points, they would be back on top thanks to a bonus round. So an exciting race is inevitable for the final day.
The other teams will hardly intervene in the fight for first place. Although the duo of Kenny De Ketele and Gijs Van Hoecke are in the same lap as Lampater and De Buyst, like these two they struggled to withstand the onslaught of Keisse and Stroetinga.
