Seven-time Ghent Six Day champion
Iljo Keisse lives through quite a new experience at the traditional festival of track racing, spectating the race from outside the center of action for the first time in years. In an interview with Sporza, Keisse admits he doesn't necessarily miss the suffering, but still gets goosebumps in 't Kuipke.
"It's different to be back here," muses Keisse on the opening evening of the Ghent Six Days. "I have been able to entertain the public for years, I hope the riders will now do that for me."
