Munich 6 Day is No More!?!?!?

[Timo]

Munich’s Six-Day track event is facing permanent cancellation due to the lack of crowds, despite the event’s long history, organizers admitted Friday.

The Munich Six has plenty of history ... but fewer and fewer fans.

“We could not find a way of bringing this event back on track,” said organizer Ralph Huber. “And we could not find another agency to take on the event in 2010, so the decision is final.”

The Munich Six – generally held in November – began in 1933 and has faced cancellation before. 2010 would have been the 46th edition of the race.

In 2009, 52,000 fans visited Munich’s indoor Olympic velodrome for the event, 12,000 fewer than what organizers had predicted and 8,500 fewer than attended the 2008 edition.

Geeze! I can't believe the old classic track meets are going bust! But then again they're in Germany where they seemed to have outlawed bike racing
