Bremen Six Day 2025 – Day Two

Here at the Bremen Six Day we have two rooms (cabins) upstairs at the track, a larger room with the drinks fridge, our tea and coffee equipment, and a smaller room with our massage table setup as well as a camp bed.

A couple of weeks ago I was spectating at the Gent Six Day, right now I'm on the other side of the boards working in the track centre at the Rotterdam Six Day.
