Keisse wi🅷n in the Derny race sparked cheers from the crowd but the COVID-19 rules limited the drinking at the event and somewhat dampened the fans usual drunken enthusiasm for the racing.
Crowds have been l🧜imited, with everyone obliged to show proof of vaccination and wear a mask in the stands and track centre. Beer and frites were only served in the well-aired catacombs of the velodrome or outside in a special tent. Fans traditionally stay on after the racing to drink late into the night but this year the Ghent Six closes its doors when the racing ends at about 1:00am.

“Let this be the chance to do things differently,” De Ketele told Belgian media. “Drinking a pint is nice, but now people may discover that the♛ race is even more exciting.”
Health inspectors were reportedly present in the velodrome to check that the event was held safely, with the local COVID-19 Consultation Committee due to meet on Wednesday to decide on further restrictions that could put the rest of the Ghent Six at risk.&nbs🍰p;
The COVID-19 virus𒈔 has spread significantly in Ghent and East Flemish recently, with a new infection record reached last week. Many people are vaccinated but case numbers of especially non-vaccinated people in hospitals 🥃continue to rise as winter arrives in Belgium.
"This week can be a party, if everyone does their best." Christophe Impens or event organiser Golazo told Het Nieuwsblad.
“We warned the riders tha😼t this could be a ‘light’ version of the Six Days in terms of decibels, but not in terms of sport. We are 🔯counting on them to put on a show.”
