Thibau Nys is back! Lidl-Trek supertalent wins race day number 1 at GP Miguel Indurain
Cycling
Thibau Nys is racing his first day of the season but it almost wouldn't be guessed by anyone. The Belgian has began his season like a rocket, taking a superb win on the GP Miguel Indurain.
Edoardo Zamperini, Harrison Wood, Jesús Herrada, Xabier Isasa, Anthon Charmig, Alan Jousseaume and Jambaljamts Sainbayar formed the day's breakaway, a strong group which did pose a threat to the peloton where a few teams put in the effort to try and control it properly.
With 30 kilometers to go already action was kicking off in the peloton with UAE having men on the move, Mauro Schmid as well. However the main attacks were left to the final ascents. Ion Izagirre launched an attack over the big final ascent but then crashed on the descent whilst Alex Aranburu also attacked downhill.
A group of four managed to escape the peloton and went into the final 600-meter ramp, seemingly to victory, but in the final meters of the ascent Nys came flying through the escapees and took a comfortable solo win in Estella. Alex Molenaar of Caja Rural surprised to a second place, beating Nys' teammate Andrea Bagioli who closed the podium.

- Releasing data doesnt solve the issue of credibilty. Because what ended to be is people making intepretation of the data which leads to innuendo. If he really want to improve his team why don't he just ask UAE of Visma to show them what do they do to their team? I feel sorry for anyone who was born after the doping era carrying the sins of the past. Their hard work and achievement always viewed as suspicious. I'm glad I'm not a pro cyclist so I don't need to keep proofing my innocent everytime I'm doing something remarkable.jelantik10-04-2025
- In every sport, records are broken and more-performing athletes emerge every year. And no one questions them. It's sad that certain people INSIDE the cycling are the first to create and increase suspicions about the sport they claim to love . And they do it without any prove, driven by frustration and envy, because they're always the losers to throw shit at their sport. It's never Vingegaard or Van der Poel; it's always the losers who act this way. Shameful. (sorry for my bad english)
maria2024202410-04-2025 - It's kinda crazy that people who make a living in professional sport don't understand how competition works. You have the sport. You have pharmaceuticals which may improve performance. You test for as many as you can. If you pass the tests, you keep your result. It's only in cycling that a substantial minority think that all results should be provisional for 15 years. In nearly every other sport, people watch and enjoy what they see, or if they don't like what goes into producing what they see, they don't watch.
Barney10-04-2025 - It is pretty cool that a Grand Tour rider is even riding Paris-Roubaix, much less in the discussion for a podium. This is a throwback across many generations of cyclists to the pillars of Hinault and Merckx. Enjoy it while it lasts.Barney10-04-2025
- Sounds like a witch hunt! " And then we should keep the samples of his tests for the next 10 years, when scientific research will have made further progress," he concluded." Throwing shit on the wall and see what sticks...drkesterdmd09-04-2025
- This video is weird, the more you look at it the more it seems as if riders vanished. At one point it looks like about 20 riders are going down and the next moment it’s only a dozen or so on the road even though the number of bikes also seems more.Mistermaumau09-04-2025

- Didn't I just read that Boonen predicted MVdP was going to win Flanders? I don't pay attention to anything but the actual race.

- " I do not want to insinuate doubts, but.." Oldest backhanded comment in the books. It's not Pog's fault that all the French riders are currently crap.ScottG09-04-2025
