Copenhagen Six Day 2012 – Day Four

It’s Sunday at the Copenhagen Six Day, and it’s Sprints to start and Hazel Dean thumps out, quality high energy from the 80’s ‘Searchin’ — quality. Followed by ‘Livin in America’ from the late, great James Brown — we’re in luck, tonight.

And then ‘Cara Mia’ to start the 75 lap chase — I never get tired of that tune.

The two chases weren’t bad at all — for a Sunday, that is.

But there were mistakes today — that’s what happens when you get tired.

The mechanics are supposed to pull the guys in after each race but Dirk has a full stable of bike to look after and riders to push off and pull in — so we’ve been helping out.

However, we missed Michael coming in from a race and he had no one to haul him in and take his bike from him.

And to add insult to injury, when I went up to the finish of the Derny to give him his towel, cap and drink, the lid wasn’t properly on the feeding bottle.

These things don’t sound like much but this is Michael’s home six and our job is to make winning it as straightforward as possible — not pee him off with daft problems.

Must try harder, tomorrow!
