Bremen sixday

Slippens/Stam won again, right after Rotterdam! I guess they had it coming
after Amsterdam where Risi (Zee Big Boss) said they would win, but they
didn't. After day 3 in Bremen, I didn't think they could still do it, but
Kappes/Marvulli cracked on day 5 and 6.

I was hoping Zabel and Villa would be able to pull it off. They were
consistent, and Slippens/ Stam less so. What were the races on the last night
that allowed them to squeeze by, Ewoud?

Don't know, my only info came from the CN results. I think, as always, the
last madison.

Maybe it has something to do with their new tactics. In an interview during the
Zesdaagse van Rotterdam they said they didn't focus on winning all the races
anymore. Coming second or third also gets a lot of points and it's easier to
conserve energy this way.

Oh hell, they've gone NASCAR on us. Thanks, Ronald.
