The finale for the Revolution series 2006 was a fitting send off for veteran of some 120 Six day events, Jimmi Madsen and the perfect chance to see how Madison racing is done on the continent. The Olympic and World Championship medalist has also competed on the road and he bids an emotional goodbye… the Revolution riders performed a trackside guard of honour for him.
“I’ve done at least a hundred and twenty six days races, so I will sleep for at least a year. It’s strange to say goodbye, it’s over and out from me.” he said to Mike Smith in a post racing interview.
A full programme of Elite Endurance racing also featured the top Junior sprinters from Great Britain and Germany. They went head to head in the team sprint, with Team GB beating the Germans. Bodes well for the future of GB track…
