After some long journeys, Eric from LA, Daniele from Vancouver, and Jackie from PA, all of the riders and their support team of Jack Simes III and Kurt Begemann arrived in Amersterdam early in the morning Wednesday. After being picked up by one of the most famous motor pacing drivers in 6 Day history, Bruno Walrave. (He's driven 400 6-Days and has 15 world championship jerseys.) Bruno took the team on an hour long drive along smooth roads to the velo to drop off bikes; the track was closed due to race prep, so riding yet. After a couple of emails, and a light dinner, the group settled down for a good night's sleep with the expectation of Thursday ahead--the beginning of 6 Days of hard racing.This is the Apeldoorn website where you will be able to follow the race. Cycle Loft Team is # 13.
Two good short videos here. The second one is a great example of the Madison Race at Gent, Belgium.
Two great 6 Day Clips are here, that will give you a 5 minute intro into the circus of 6 Day racing. On the first link, click on movie when the page opens. All the others should take you straight to the videos.
