Rotterdam Six-Day ends tonight - see it streamed live here on road.cc

Several teams vying to take overall win as annual event goes into its final day

Today is the final day of the Rotterdam Six-Day, with several pairs of riders vying to clinch victory in the annual event – and thanks to SixDayRacing.com you can watch a live stream of this evening’s racing right here on road.cc, with the first race, the Elite Madison, starting at 6pm UK time.

The Belgian pairing of Kenny De Ketele and Jasper De Buyst go into the last day on 308 points and with a one-lap advantage over their rivals, led by Niki Terpstra and Iljo Keisse on 295 points and Michael Mørkøv and Alex Rasmussen with 292 points.

“Our one-lap advantage doesn’t really count because all our rivals will take one as well tomorrow," De Buyst said at the conclusion of yesterday's penultimate session. “It will come down to a points’ battle. Or one couple needs to be so strong that they can take another lap. I think Niki Terpstra and Iljo Keisse are our biggest opponents, but we will also have to watch the others.”

Streaming will start below at 5.30pm, and to keep you entertained in the meantime, underneath you’ll find highlights of each of the previous five days’ racing with commentary from David Harmon and two time world individual pursuit champion, Tony Doyle.

This evening’s programme can be found at the end of this article. In the meantime, full streams of the previous days as well as interviews and much more can be found on the SixDayRacing TV YouTube channel. If you haven't seen six-day racing before, here's how the format works.
