"I would have laughed at you" - Thibau Nys shocked at unstoppable success streak at World Tour

Thibau Nys has taken his seventh win of the season, in less than four months. The Lidl-Trek rider has won in every single stage-race he took part on this year and right on the first attempt he has succeeded in continuing this run at the Tour de Pologne.
“The past few months I have shown that these types of finishes suit me. I can really reach a top level in a strong peloton," Nys said in a post-race interview. "So I know what it takes to win a stage like this. At the same time, it also creates tension because you know how tough it will be. But I did it again, it is unbelievable". Nys had to overcome a late crash to return to the peloton and contest for a result.
UAE Team Emirates and Team Visma | Lease a Bike battled in the first kilometers of the climb whilst the peloton was led by EF Education-EasyPost. Nys' Trek didn't have the manpower to reel in the attack from Jan Christen and Wilco Kelderman but the Belgian rode the wheels until the perfect time. In the final 10% drag to the line he burst away from the GC group to take a very strong win, comfortably over Kelderman and Lukas Nerurkar. He also takes the race lead after this result.
“If you had told me this before the season, that I would win a stage in every stage race I ride, I would have laughed at you," he continues. "This is the result of a lot of hard work. The same as if you had told me five years ago that I would now win stages in the WorldTour".
He was also asked about cyclocross and if his ambitions change due to his success on the road. “I enjoy both worlds. I want to keep doing this. My heart is still with cyclocross, I am far from finished there," he responded.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
