Thibau Nys, born November 12, 2002 in Bonheiden, Belgium, is a promising Belgian cyclocross and road cyclist. He is the son of legendary cyclo-cross rider Sven Nys. Thibau rides for the Baloise Trek Lions team and has already achieved several successes, including winning the 2021 European Championships in cyclo-cross in the under-23 ranks.

Thibau Nys, son of cyclocross legend Sven Nys, began his cycling career with impressive achievements. In 2020, he won the Belgian Cyclocross Championships in juniors and recorded multiple victories in the World Cup. In 2021, he continued his rise with the European title in the U23s, confirming his status as a top promising rider.

In 2023 he already showed much promise on the road, taking his first pro win at the Tour of Norway, and then again at the GP des Kantons Aargau. But that winter in cyclocross he would take a big lap as well, winning very early on the big opening cross of the season in Beringen and right after his first World Cup in Waterloo - with the Koppenbergcross also added to his palmarès on the first day of November. The 2023-2024 season started off brilliantly but he still faced some difficulties with consistency. Whilst this did improve when comparing to previous years, he did not manage to win again, but did feature among the best a few more times.

But in 2024 his road season campaign was nothing short of impressive. Nys won a stage in every single stage-race he started. His season only began in April with the Tour de Romandie where he won his first World Tour race on stage 2. Weeks later he won the Tour de Hongrie after conquering two stage wins. Right after came a win at the Tour of Norway, and in June he won at the Tour de Suisse. But his season would not end there, and he snatched no less than three more World Tour stage wins at the Tour de Pologne later in the year, showcasing his incredible talent as a pure puncheur and classics specialist.
