The "Major results-Track" listing is correct and so is the Six-day-wins timeline. Both lists the correct year and the correct partner for Sercu's 8 wins in Dortmund (at least they comply with 6 jour de Dortmund on Mémoire du cyclisme), but then there is a table "track races" that lists only six wins for Sercu in Dortmund and also contains other errors - I haven't checked the other races (it seems to be copied from somewhere else - "rit." looks a bit italian, as does 1°, 2° etc...).

We have the results from 1966 to 1983 in Dortmund according to the table in the article:

4-2-3-1-6-X-1-1-1-2-1-3-3-3-1-6-6

and according to Mémoire du cyclisme:

4-2-1-1-5-3-1-1-1-2-1-3-3-1-1-6-6

Also Frankfurt is wrong in the table. Sercu didn't win in 1977 (he came third). Episcophagus (talk) 07:29, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the table confuses Munich with Monaco... But also the list of Six-day-wins is wrong (in 1980 it lists Copenhagen twice) and the list year by year is wrong (it doesn't list Copenhagen at all in 1980). 24-30 january 1980 Sercu won in Copenhagen with Albert Fritz.

The article also claims: "Most Six Days of London wins: 9" But Mémoire du cyclisme only lists eight, as does the table, the list of six-day-wins and the list year by year... Episcophagus (talk) 09:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
