Gent Six Day, Saturday morning… It’s snowing like Hell in Lichfield, Dan Fleeman just texted me to tell me, he’s doing four hours today.
Gent?
The sun is splitting the sky, a glorious Flemish autumn morning – inside the Kuipke velodrome the industrial cleaning guys are scraping the scum of hot dog wrappers and Pils off the floor.
I was up early today, tidied the cabin, sorted the washing, sorted the track side cabin and headed off for a coffee – sometimes you need out of the cabin.
The big cyclo-cross was on at Koksijde, today – it was on tele at Iljo’s dad’s bar. Neils Albert gained his first win of the year, he’ll be fancying his Worlds chances, now.
The papers were full of it on Sunday.
And now it’s Monday morning, I’m sitting in some horrible ‘theme’ bar at Charleroi Airport.
My flight home to Edinburgh is cancelled due to the snow in Auld Scotia and the best I could wangle was Charleroi to Dublin, tonight then Dublin to Prestwick in the morning. My pal Dave has booked me into a hotel at Dublin airport, so I’m as sorted as I can be.
The alternative flight from here was late on Wednesday night.
The Six all seems a long time ago…
Kris is off through the snows to Zurich, where Franco rides.
Michael is headed for Fuertaventura and the Saxo training camp.
Alex is going home to Girona then over to the HTC camp training in California at the start of December.
Jens-Erik and Marc Hester should be home in Denmark by now, they took Michael’s car and track bikes home for him.
It’s the first six day I’ve worked at where we had no-one on the podium – a very ‘flat’ experience.
I wrote up and sent my copy between last night from the motorway and today standing in queues – I think I’m all out of Six Day chat, for the moment.
I’ll be fine for Rotterdam, my next venture assisting the, ‘Men of the Night.’
As a slice of life to taste, Gent was marvellous; new faces and friends; the reinforcement of old friendships; an interview with Danilo Hondo – and another huge batch of pictures and words.
But I have to wonder how many world class sportsmen would be happy to be housed in a steel storage cabin and treated like criminals by heavy handed drugs testers?
Please don’t misunderstand, drug tests should certainly take place; but not in track side cabins full of food, drink, cologne and embrocations, with Derny fumes filling the hall.
The winner?
I have huge admiration for Iljo Keisse and the way he conducts his business as a professional; but for him to be allowed to come ‘back from the dead’ and win this six does little for the sport’s credibility.
In my opinion he should have cut a deal on ‘contaminated supplements’ taken a year’s ban and by now it would all be behind him.
To ‘suspend a suspension’ is something I’ve never heard of before – and there’s the very real risk that his win at the Kuipke could be annulled if the court cases don’t go his way.
But I’ve heard rumours that ‘people in high places’ are confidently predicting that Iljo will be riding the Spring Classics for Quick Step.
I heard other rumours too that can’t be printed here but are most disconcerting and makes one wonder if the sport’s attitude to drugs has actually changes at all.
Among the young riders, I’m certain it has, but there are men in very high places in the sport who still think in the ‘old way,’ – in other words, the biggest mistake you can make with ‘kitting up,’ is to get caught.
And if you do get caught then all’s fair to get you off the hook.
But maybe I’m just tired, a little cynical and disappointed that none of our guys picked up the flowers.
If I was track side and the 70’s disco was pumping, the draft off the string was on my skin, there was good chat with Franco and the boys, the fans were roaring and the track centre was a living then – I guess I’d be just fine.
Thank you for reading; and if you’ve ever thought about going to the Gent six, make 2011 the year, you won’t regret it.
