For the first time since 1988, the Dutch city of Rotterdam will host a Six Day track race early next year. The race was announced at a press
conference on Tuesday in Rotterdam and will take place between January 6-11. The velodrome used will be a temporary 200m track that will be built in
the coming months. The Rotterdam Six will form the first event of the Rotterdam Sportjaar 2005, as Rotterdam has been named the European Capital of
Sport in 2005.
