UIV Talents Cup Copenhagen Final Day
The race was ridden at an average speed of 50,250 km/h and several teams tried to take a lap. Only one team succeeded however and that was the Australian team Christopher Young – Philip Stokes which meant that they moved up on equal laps with the leading teams. Ingmar De Poortere – Daniel Kreutzfeldt tried several times to get away, just like Belgians Cocquyt-Tuytens but Kluge-Mohs controlled the peloton completely. Czechs Subrt-Haceky and Danes Kristiansen-Rydicher were very close before the final day where only six points separated them. The Danes had a very good race and were incredibly strong in the sprints winning four of the eight sprints which meant that they beat the Czechs and moved up from fourth to third place.
Kluge-Mohs were however not to be moved from their leading position and won the the UIV Talents Cup Copenhagen. That did not change the overall UIV Cup Ranking as Nicky Cocquyt won the individual classification. Erik Mohs’s result in Copenhagen moved him up to second place and thereby Davy Tuytens moved down to third place.
(UIV Cup Ranking will be updated with the complete result as soon as possible).

UIV Talents Cup Copenhagen 5^th day
Before today’s madison the U23 riders did a 1.000m time trial. The fastest team was the Germans Roger Kluge – Erik Mohs in the time 59,103 seconds, the only team that rode the 1.000m in less than a minute. Second fastest were the UIV Talents Cup Ranking leaders, Belgians Cocquyt-Tuytens, in the time 1.00,340 and third were De Portere-Kreutzfeldt in the time 1.01,005.
In the madison De Portere-Kreutzfeldt launched several attacks from the start but they were not allowed to take a lap. Before the first sprint De Portere-Kreutzfeldt launched a "tactical attack" and as soon as they had obtained the points from the sprint they led themselves fall back into the peloton. Several teams, including Subrt-Haceky, De Portere-Kreutzfeldt and Cocquyt-Tuytens, kept on trying to get away but Germans Kluge-Mohs controlled the peloton and nobody could get away. Kluge-Mohs won three of the six sprints and were second in two of the other three sprints. Belgians Cocquyt-Tuytens would however not give up so easily and had several attempts to get away but they were also "held" by the Germans who had a very good race.
After seeing the race one could be tempted to say that Erik Mohs was the strongest rider on the track and his partner Roger Kluge was indeed very strong as well. The result was that Kluge-Mohs won the madison and thereby increased their lead in the overall. Second in the madison were Cocquyt-Tuytens and De Portere-Kreutzfeldt were third. No teams managed to win a lap so the madison ended with all teams on equal laps except for four teams which lost between one and five laps.

UIV Talents Cup Copenhagen 4^th day
In the very beginning of the race a couple of teams tried to get away, including the strong Czech team, Subrt-Haceky. They tried for a long time but with the peloton riding at an average speed of 51 km/h they could not get around and had to give up. Wonsyld-Dalsted had a mishap and thereby lost a lap due to the high speed.
Several teams tried to take a lap but Belgians Cocquyt-Tuytens controlled the peloton and would not let anybody get away. Kluge-Mohs and Subrt-Haceky especially tried but again the Belgians were on them. The Belgians’ controlling way of riding however ended up costing a lot of energy and in the sprints they struggled. Kluge-Mohs, with Mohs especially, however struggled in no way in the sprints and the Germans won four of the six sprints. And not only did they win today’s madison they also took the overall lead in the race.
Today's fighter prize was given to Jannik V.D. Nielsen - Philip Nielsen.

UIV Cup Copenhagen 3rd day
The day started with an early attack from team no. 13, Jørgensen-Jørgensen, but after a long fight they were caught by the peloton. Cocquyt-Tuytens tried a couple of times in the beginning but the remaining teams stayed on them and they were not allowed to take a lap. The first sprint was won by Germans Kluge-Mohs in front of Young-Stokes which brought the Germans into the lead.
After the first 30 minutes of riding the average speed was 49 km/h and no teams were able to take a lap yet.
Five teams, including Cocquyt-Tuytens and Kluge-Mohs, tried for a while to take a lap but three teams went after them. After a long fight Cocquyt-Tuytens took charge of the group and were a major force in catching up with Nielsen-Nielsen, who thereby lost a lap, and then caught up with the following group which meant that Cocquyt-Tuytens, Kluge-Mohs, Kristiansen-Rydicher, Subrt-Haceky and Christensen-Jørgensen took a lap. That turned out to be the only lap won in the race.
For the most part of the race it looked as if Cocquyt-Tuytens and Kluge-Mohs were the strongest teams on the track but after some tough fights in the sprints Cocquyt-Tuytens beat Kluge-Mohs and won the madison.
The madison ended with an average speed of 51 km/h.
Mørkøv-Damm were rewarded with the "fighter prize" of the evening.
"Yesterday was a bad day but today was much better" Cocquyt says after the race. "We’ve been fighting Mohs from the German team all winter and again today he and his partner were strong. The Czech team was also strong – both today and yesterday but we were the fastest today and won," he also added. Finally Cocquyt said that "even though we won today there is still a long way to go and several teams in the peloton are very strong."

UIV Talents Cup Copenhagen 2^nd day
Kluge-Mohs won the second stage of the UIV Cup Copenhagen with Subrt-Haceky second.
De Poortere-Kreutzfeldt are still in the lead with the Belgians, Cocquyt-Tuytens, second. Germans Kluge-Mohs have moved up from 4^th to 3^rd place.

Since the 2nd day of the UIV Cup in Ghent Belgian team Cocquyt - Tuytens has been leading the overall, and now they are very close to i final victory.  Before the final stage tonight in Kuipe they are leading with one lap and with a higher points score than their closest opponents. The 5th stage was won by the team Pieters - Smith, not a danger to the favourite teams.

After Ingmar De Poortere’s elimination due to a broken collarbone on the first evening another crash would affect the race. Tim Roels crashed and had to leave the race with a head injury. That lead to a new team being founded, Mertens-Marquet. The madison was won by Dutch team Jonkman-Sluimer but Belgians Cocquyt-Tuytens are the new leaders of the race.

Overall UIV Cup 2005/2006

 

The UIV Talents Cup in Ghent was very close on the first night leaving 4 teams with an almost equal amount of points and only one team struggling to keep up with the pack.

As foreseen the UIV Talents Cup in Munich ended with an overwhelming success for Belgium. Kenny de Ketele – Steve Schets won the overall after victories on five of the six stages. De Poortere – Cocquyt won one stage and came in 2^nd in the overall.

The UIV Talents Cup in Munich is still in the hands of the Belgian teams. De Ketele – Schets won their 4^th victory in five stages and things must go very wrong if the final result should not be a double victory for Belgium.

Belgians are still best in Munich UIV Cup, but on the 4^th stage the names of the winners was not De Ketele – Schets but the other Belgian team De Poorterre – Cocquyt. No big changes in the overall, still with the two teams from Belgium 1^st and 2^nd.

Also the 3^rd stage of the UIV Talents Cup in Munich went to De Ketele – Schets. They have an overwhelming lead in the overall, off course, and the two Belgium boys looks very much as one more future 6-day team, coming from the UIV Cup, following in the footsteps of Keisse – De Fauw and Hester – Mørkøv. Recently the Belgians took 3^rd place in the Elite World Cup in Moscow.

The Belgium teams managed to hold their lead in the UIV Cup also on the 2^nd day in Munich, with De Ketele – Schets still leading.

The Belgium teams dominated the first stage of the UIV Talents Cup in Munich. De Ketele – Schets (2^nd overall in last winters Cup) took 1^st place and De Poorterre – Cocquyt came in 2^nd.

Ben Swift and Geraint Thomas won also the 3^rd and final stage of the UIV Madison Cup in Dortmund and thus the overall of this 2^nd leg of the Cup, which will continue in Munich (10^th to 15^th November). The final stage was a 50 Km Madison, where the British team won one lap ahead of the Belgium’s Tuytens – Cocquyt and with two ore more laps to the next teams. Time for the 50 Km: 59:09 Min.

The British team Swift – Thomas also won the 2^nd stage of the UIV Cup in Dortmund, again with Belgium team Tuytens – Cocquyt 2^nd.

The 2^nd leg of this winters UIV Cup started Friday evening in Dortmund. First leader’s is the British team Ben Swift – Geraint Thomas. Six teams ended up in the same lap after the first stage.

Michael Mørkøv – Marc Hester did win the 1^st leg of this winters UIV Cup in Amsterdam, but they had to fight very hard for it on the final stage Saturday. All the other strong teams attacked one after another, in order to gain the lap, which could wrest the overall victory from the Danes. Most serious attack came from the British team Stannard – Swift. At the end of the race, they missed the lap-win with just 30 Meters!

Also the 2^nd stage of the UIV Cup in Amsterdam saw the Danish team Mørkøv – Hester as winners. In the team-trial (2 laps = 400 Meters) the Dutch team Jonkman – Sluimer had the best time with 22,88 sec., until the Danes completed the distance in 22,55 sec. The Madison was again decided in the sprints, and again with Mørkøv – Hester as the strongest team.

Last winters overall winners of the UIV Talents Cup, Michael Mørkøv and Marc Hester from Denmark, started the new UIV Cup-season with another victory. They were far the strongest team in the competition and won all three sprints in the Madison. But it might perhaps be their only participation together in this UIV Cup-series, because they are already partly engaged in the pro 6-Days and in the World Cup with their national team. After the race, the team got gratulations from sportdirector Patrick Sercu - and Michael Mørkøv af warning for dangerous behavior in the final sprint (see below).

The UIV Talents Cup for riders Under 23 will be organised for the 3^rd time coming winter the members of UIV (the organisation of professional track-organisers) decided on their annual meeting last Saturday 16^th of April 2005 in Dortmund (GER).
– We have had so much positive response from riders as well as coaches and federations etc. about the two first years of the Cup, that we nearly feel obliged to continue, explains Henrik Elmgreen (president of the UIV and re-elected for two more years at the meeting in Dortmund). In total 95 riders from 12 nations participated in the UIV Cup 2004/2005.

Again the Cup will be organised within the frames of the 6-Days, organised by members of the UIV:

The first year of the UIV Cup (2003/2004) created a coming 6-Days star in young Belgian Iljo Keisse, who already during the winter 2004/2005 managed to make a breakthrough in the Elite 6-Days. Two of the new young World Champions in Los Angeles in march, Mark Cavendish (GBR-Madison) and Alex Rasmussen (DEN-Scratch) came from successful participating in last winters UIV Cup.

UIV Cup 2003/2004: 1^st Iljo Keisse – Dmitri Defauw (BEL), 2^nd Michael Smith Larsen – Michael Berling (DEN), 3^rd Ralph Zimmermann – Oliver Mattmann (SUI).
UIV Cup 2004/2005: 1^st Marc Hester – Michael Mørkøv (DEN), 2^nd Kenny De Ketele – Steve Schets (BEL), 3^rd Alex Rasmussen – Michael Berling (DEN).

The UIV Talents Cup in 2005/2006 will still be a madison Cup for teams but with an individual overall classement.
