De Vylder and Ghys win overall at Gent Six Day while Keisse ends track career on podium

Lindsay De Vylder and Robbe Ghys secured the overall title at Lotto Gent Six Day on Sunday, using a victory in the Madison to seal the deal. The Belgian duo overcame a one-lap deficit to Yoeri Havik (Netherlands) and Fabio van den Bossche (Belgium) from Saturday.  

The home crowd was soundly rewarded on the final event of the evening – the men’s Madison. It marked the final time veteran star Iljo Keisse (Belgium) would race on the track in a career spanning three decades. Along with countryman Jasper De Buyst, he finished in third overall.
