Track cycling: At the Six Day Berlin, five teams are still in the clear round. The first four duos are only separated by ten points. The Danes Marc Hester and Jesper Mørkøv have regained the lead again. Maximilian Levy, on the other hand, has further extended his lead in the sprinters. However, he had to admit defeat in two of three competitions today.
Six Day Berlin: Six winners in six competitions
Anyone who expected that the Six Day Berlin couldn't get any more exciting was wrong on the fourth day of the competition. Whereas before there were 40 points between fifth and first, there are now only 26 points. There were six different winners in six competitions on Sunday in the Berlin Velodrom. The hunts went to Van Zijl/Hesters and Pszczolarski/Staniszewski, the Derny runs to Müller and Burkart. Rostovtsev secured the points race before the team elimination went to the German duo Bommel/Thiele, who had a very good day overall today and are now the sixth-placed team, two laps down and 296 points.
1. Marc Hester (DEN) / Jesper Mørkøv (DEN) 299 points
2. Wojciech Pszczolarski (POL) / Daniel Staniszewski (POL) 290 points
3. Wim Stroetinga (NED) / Robbe Ghys (BEL) 289 points

Denis Dmitriev annoys Maximilian Levy
While things are getting more and more exciting with the Six Day Berlin teams, Maximilian Levy is doing his laps alone in the sprint. Even today he was able to slightly extend his lead over the competition. But for the first time he got a lot of resistance in the individual races and only won one out of four. The Russian Denis Dmitriev was allowed to celebrate three times. He won the 250 meter time trial, the sprint and the team sprint. However, since he only finished fifth in the keirin, he still lost ground. Maximilian Levy, on the other hand, always finished second, but was then the fastest sprinter in the keirin.
1. Maximilian Levy (GER) 198 points
2. Denis Dmitriev (RUS) 161 points
3.Shane Perkins (RUS) 137 points
4. Anton Höhne (GER) 124 points
5. François Pervis (FRA) 116 points
6. Nikita Shurshin (RUS) 116 points
where did @MaximilianLevy come from!? 😯
