Symmetrics Extends Lead after Day 2 of Burnaby Six Day

Tuft and Bell of Symmetrics put one lap on Slipstream and two laps on Healthnet and Successful Living tonight. Symmetrics now leads with 2 laps over Slipstream Sports, 3 laps over Healthnet, and 4 laps over Successful Living.

Slipstream took first place in the first Madison of the night and the one-rider Elimination race, while Symmetrics took first place in the second Madison of the night and the one-rider 40 lap points race.

Play of the Day award goes to Christian Meier of Successful Living, for avoiding a crash by diving into the infield, driving through the rider pit, back onto the track, and straight up to his partner riding high on the banking.

LA Lightning was riding at full strength today, with Crosby recovered from his crash last night.
