Four riders from the REMBE® rad-net team will also be taking part. The European Madison champions Roger Kluge and Theo Reinhardt are the top favourites going into the race, while Benjamin Boos and Bruno Keßler, who won the U23 six-day race in Ghent in November, are looking to gain further experience.
Kluge/Reinhardt triumphed last year in the ÖVB Arena just ahead of Yoeri Havik/Jan-Willem van Schip. Dutchman Havik is also taking part this year and will start with road pro Nils Politt. Olympic silver medallists Elia Viviani/Simone Consonni from Italy are also among the main rivals of the two riders from the REMBE® rad-net team.
"Of course Theo and I want to defend our title, but that's easy to say. The competition is fierce. In any case, we want to have a say in the overall victory and then we'll see where we end up," says Kluge.
The 58th edition of the four-day six-day event will take place from Friday to Monday, 10 to 13 January.
