On Saturday's third night of the Dortmund Six Day, the Westfalenhallen velodrome was rocked when hometown favourites Erik Zabel and Leif Lampater lost the overall lead thanks to a late race escape in the first Madison of the evening. World Champions Franco Marvulli and Bruno Risi, the leaders after the first night, spent much of the 222 lap Madison marking the lead team of Zabel/Lampater.
