This article is a good history of six day racing but does not include information on the rules of the modern event, or even, really, how you win. This is what I wanted to learn from the article and I think such information should be added. 143.229.44.127 (talk) 16:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
I have moved the text about how events are won to the intro (This change also removed a section with an almost identical name to a subsequent section).Paul W (talk) 13:35, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Most six-day victories

Was the 1906 Six-days of Toulouse abandoned after three days?
[edit]The article claims "The success of madisons in America led to their introduction in Europe. The first was at Toulouse in 1906, although it was abandoned after three days because of lack of interest.". Why then did L'Auto write about the race every day from september 25th to October 2nd in 1906. Read "Les Six Jours de Bazacle" in L'Auto: September 25th (p.3), 26th (p.4), 27th (p.5), 28th (p.4), 29th (p.5) and 30th (p.5). October 1st (p.5 - final results) and 2nd (p.4). There was a break on day three, but the race was continued (but about a day was lost). For details see L'Auto on September 28th (and 29th). Episcophagus (talk) 14:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
