6-Days in Fiorenzuola, 15th to 20th July 2010
First Danish Victory in Fiorenzuola!

(HE from Fiorenzuola)
The 13th 6-Days in Fiorenzuola ended after a short but hectic final (60 laps = 24 Km) with the first Danish victory ever in Fiorenzuola. Franco Marvulli – winner the last four years – ended up 2nd with Olympic Champion Walter Perez, but even closer to the victory was the team ending on 3rd place, Jacopo Guarnieri – Danny Stam. In fact that team was close to the end just about 75 Meters from winning that lap, which would have given them the victory! Together with Ciccone – Buttazzoni they were in a very serious attack, where Rasmussen – Mørkøv needed all their skills, and a little bit of help from their friends and Danish country-fellowmen Hester – Madsen and J. Mørkøv – Nielsen, in order to prevent the "Italians" from reaching the end of the bunch. But in the end the Danes showed up to be the strongest team, which they also had been during the six days in Fiorenzuola.

That was the end of the 13th 6-Giorni delle rose in Fiorenzuola, welcome to race no. 14 next year!

Final overall of 6-Giorni delle rose 2010:

6-Days in Fiorenzuola, 15th to 20th July 2010
Three teams for the victory to night!

(HE from Fiorenzuola)
In a hot summer-evening in the nice little town Fiorenzuola in Italy, halfway between Milano and Bologna, the 17 teams fought themselves through the second-last evening of this year’s edition of "Il 6-Giorni delle rose". The riders were still very motivated, even if some of them could still "feel" the 100 Km from Sunday in their legs. But tonight is the great final of the 6-Days, and it seems obvious, that we have three candidates for the victory: Franco Marvulli (winners the last four years) with Walter Perez, the best Italian Jacopo Guarnieri (who was second last year with Risi) and the Danish ex-World Champions Rasmussen - Mørkøv, who has impressed the crowd at their first visit in Fiorenzuola. Marvulli or the Danes? Only 1 point separates them before the final. Or will outsiders Guarnieri – Stam take them both by surprise? Tomorrow we know.

Guarnieri – Stam strongly showed their ambitions on this Monday evening, by winning the final 50 Km Madison ahead of Marvulli – Perez, Rasmussen – Mørkøv and Hester – Madsen. Those four teams lapped the field, and for Hester – Madsen, who also achieved a bonuslap for passing the 100 points, it meant, that they are now in a comfortable 4th place overall before the final.

Colla – Antogna has now taken over the command in the "Giro Lanciato", which they also won on Monday, with 21.97 sec. for the 400 Meters.

Overall after end of the 5th day of 6-Giorni delle rose 2010:
1 Alex Rasmussen – Michael Mørkøv (DEN), 147 p., 2 Franco Marvulli (SUI) – Walter Perez (ARG), 146 p., 3 Jacopo Guarnieri (ITA) – Danny Stam (NED), 138 p., at 1 lap: 4 Marc Hester – Jens-Erik Madsen (DEN), 117 p., at 2 laps: 5 Angelo Ciccone – Alex Buttazzoni (ITA), 68 p., 6 Martin Blaha – Jiri Hochmann (CZE), 59 p., 7 Milan Kadlec (CZE) – Jozef Zabka (SVK), 34 p., at 4 laps: 8 Dario Colla – Fernando Antogna (ARG), 67 p., 9 Matteo Montaguti – Giairo Ermeti (ITA), 63 p., 10 Vojtech Hacecky – Jan Dostal (CZE), 58 p., 11 Fabio Masotti (ITA) – Dean Edwards (RSA), 51 p., 12 Jesper Mørkøv – Philip Nielsen (DEN), 49 p., 13 Aloïs Kankovsky (CZE) – Geert-Jan Jonkmann (NED), 20 p., at 5 laps: 14 Martin Ercila (ARG) – Guy East (USA), 31 p., at 6 laps: 15 Jack Simes IV – Myron Simpson (NZL), 36 p., 16 Ryan Sabga – Ryan Luttrel (USA), 13 p.,17 Alessandro de Marchi – Andrea Pinos (ITA), 10 p.

6-Days in Fiorenzuola, 15th to 20th July 2010
Marvulli – Perez won the 100 Km

The 100 Km Madison in Fiorenzuola Sunday evening showed exactly, which are the three strongest team in the race. Marvulli – Perez, Rasmussen – Mørkøv and Guarnieri – Stam followed each other until the end and finished up in the same lap with the other teams from 1 to 3 laps down on the big 400 Meter tack. The sprints then decided the 100 Km, and as Franco Marvulli was the fastest man in the last sprint, beating Rasmussen and Guarnieri, it was the Swiss-Argentine combination who won the prestigious match. Best of the rest was the team Hester – Madsen, 1 lap down in 4th place.

Only one more race on the Sunday’s program, the "Giro Lanciato", this time won by Colla – Antogna in 22,36 sec., just 10/100 sec. ahead of Rasmussen – Mørkøv.

Overall after end of the 4th day of 6-Giorni delle rose 2010:

6-Days in Fiorenzuola, 15th to 20th July 2010
Rasmussen – Mørkøv leaders

Martin Blaha – Jiri Hochmann won the overall of the 3rd stage of the "6-Giorni delle rose" in Fiorenzuola on Saturday, but the Danes Rasmussen – Mørkøv took over the lead in the overall thanks’ to a bonuslap, as the first team reaching the 100 points. That lead doesn’t change despite the fact, that the final 100 lap Madison was won by Italians Ciccone – Buttazzoni ahead of J. Mørkøv – Nielsen, Masotti – Edwards and Kadlec – Zabka. Those four teams managed to lap the field with the other top-teams one lap behind. Once again Rasmussen – Mørkøv was the fastest team in "Giro Lanciato" with 21.63 sec. for the 400 Meters, with Guarnieri – Stam 2nd in 22.01 sec.

In most of the 6-Days in the winter-season, the Sunday is normally a rather quiet day, but that will not be the case in Fiorenzuola. Here they have quite another tradition: The Sunday evenings program is dominated by a 100 Km Madison (250 laps!). In fact no other 6-Days of today offer the riders such a splendid opportunity...
