Rasmussen/ Mørkøv hit out hard on first night

The home town team wearing the lucky number 7 of the race favourites, Danes  Michael Mørkøv and Alex Rasmussen, took the early lead in the Copenhagen Six Day on the first night.

Seeking to defend their title at the Ballerup Super Arena is an extra added pressure, but the reigning Madison World Champions handled it with aplomb as they powered to a one-lap advantage over all but the Dutch team of Danny Stam and Peter Schep.
