"I also owe this victory to Lars van der Haar" - Thibau Nys explodes into cyclocross season

Thibau Nys is now in the elite category of cyclocross and he proved himself on the first opportunity. The Baloise - Trek Lions opened the first Belgian cross of the season with great form and beat Eli Iserbyt in a very tactical race in Beringen.
“I did not see this coming, but I am incredibly happy. I also owe this victory to Lars van der Haar. It was a very difficult race to really feel comfortable, because the efforts came so close together," Nys said at the end of the race. "If it took longer, I could pull through well and I had the power in my legs to stand up. But that also made it difficult to estimate how I should approach the final. That's where the stress came to the surface.”
Nys initially resisted the attacks in the group and looked to have the legs in the final lap. “I've never been in that situation before, where I felt like I could win. So I was a bit nervous, but I had Lars with me. He rolled out the red carpet. It's unbelievable that such a champion would want to do that. I owe this victory to him. He saw that I could win and kept the pace tight," he thanks. Nys then had the legs in the final minutes of the race to match Iserbyt on the climbs and technical sections, and then exploded out of his wheel in the finishing straight to take the victory.
"It had to happen on the last climb. I was afraid to continue there, but I was confident of my sprint. This allowed me to correct my mistake. I wanted to lure them out of there. That worked and then I felt it was for me. The first cross of the season, first professional victory... Now the pressure is even greater in Waterloo," he adds. "But most of all I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the first World Championships.”

- 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.
