"It feels like family, and that’s nice" - Thibau Nys on expected move to Trek - Segafredo

Many bicycle lovers are already familiar with Thibau Nys. His father, Sven, is a cyclocross hero who has won two World Championships, and Nys has already amassed an excellent resume, including a junior cyclocross World Championship in 2020 and an under-23 European road race championship last year.

“I always dreamed of becoming a really good cyclocross rider, and the road part with Trek wasn’t something I was dreaming of because it was too far from my bed, To step up the game on the road and get slowly into the WorldTour, in combination with Trek, that makes it all even more special,” Nys said in a press release from Trek - Segafredo - with whom he has recently signed a contract.

“The whole staff behind Trek in Waterloo, Wisconsin, we work quite close together. It gives me a really good feeling to stay in that environment and I feel really good about these people. It feels like family, and that’s nice. It’s not lowering the pressure, but it gives me less nerves, you know?” Nys described.

The young Belgian is preparing for a series of road races in his home country. This week, he finished 17th in the Ronde van Limburg, and he'll race the one-day Dwars door het Hageland and Elfstedenronde Brugge before the five-stage Belgium Tour at the end of the week and Belgian road national championships at the end of June where he will still have a lot of opportunities to show his potential.
