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.

- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- It's not like they wanted her to not win😅 She had an outstanding Olympics. But there's a reason why she wasn't expected to win the road race and that's ok. Things like this happen and it's great...better than seeing expected winners win.Veganpotter24-12-2024

- yeah, agree. on the subject of being a “complete rider,” i do think that’s getting more interesting. mathieu seems to have decided he wants to get much better at climbing the the high mountain passes. he appears to be looking for new challenges, which should be interesting to watch. in most cases you’d dismiss a goal like that at age 30, but it’s mvdp. he’s never going to climb with the real climbers, but if he can improve enough it could open up stage wins when the parcours isnt just purely toothy and punchy.OCexile24-12-2024
- I'm loving the level of competition and the compositions of teams in 2025. Sure Pogi had an historic 2024. Slate is clean in 2025. And lots of great athletes--MvdP, Vingo, Primoz, Remco, Marc Hircshi, Pidcock, Carlos Rodriquez--and strong teams want to win. I think Pogi will have another great season in 2025. But I think we will talk about others having great seasons too. Who? I don't know. I'll watch the classics and tours and will root for spirited competition.pidginbil24-12-2024
- Sorry but 50€ a day for an international hotel was already a joke 6 years ago. Combined with the fact a lot of them are international chains, this is just capitalism as the West has taught. I think the business term used now is « dynamic pricing « and it happens everywhere. Maybe some will now reflect on how 3rd world delegations are discriminated by prices when they have always had to travel to meetings, hence distorting results and silverware. We will also still have to see how things work out visa-wise, how many participants will be refused as in Glasgow and on what basis? As regards Pog, the coach had better put in place a strategy to avoid his boycotting for personal political reasons, that’s at least as big a problem as logistics.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
