Six Days of Ghent

Six Days of Ghent

The Six Days of Ghent (Dutch: "Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent") is a six-day track cycling race held annually in Ghent, Belgium.

It takes place in the "Kuipke" velodrome in Ghent's "Citadelpark".

The 2006 event from 21 to 26 November was marred by the death of one of the riders. During the fifth day's racing, Isaac Gálvez of Spain rode into the barrier edging the outside of the track and died on his way to hospital.

The race director at Ghent is the former six-day rider and world record holder, Patrick Sercu.

The 2007 event took place from 20 to 25 November.
