Sven Nys delighted with Baloise - Trek Lions' performance - "We already see results, and it is falling well"
Cyclocross
Baloise Trek Lions dominate the cyclocross field. Ten victories have already been achieved by the team this season. Three of them are the sole responsibility of Lars van der Haar.
"This offers a lot of perspective for the future," Sven Nys told WielerFlits. He continues, "These results do a lot of good. We have tried in recent years to attract some young guys who we were sure were going to offer quality in the long run. Actually, we already see results, and it is falling well. Pim and Thibau are doing very well, and we can then add two slightly older guys Lars and Joris. That offers a lot of perspective in general."
A key member of the team is Lars van der Haar. The team has already earned three gold, seven silver and five bronze medals this season thanks to him. "It is really clever that Lars is on the podium on every course this year. He is so stable," Nys praised the Dutchman.
He believes that the team's future is bright and that they will continue to dominate for a very long time to come. "I'm really looking forward to the next few years. Those guys are going to keep making strides, and I'm sure of that. The dynamic between those guys is very nice to see. That's really the team I want to work on," concluded Nys.

- The conditions there were absolutely heavenly. No wonder that Vanthourenhout was literally sucked into the ground. I think Mason and Wyseure are very similar types of riders. We've seen that when Vanthourenhout has been in a similar position to where Mason was, and Wyseure has had the legs, he's been able to power his way back. But that's not quite possible when Mason is putting out more power in front.
Rafionain-Glas11-11-2026 - What a win! It's been been so long in the waiting but I'm so glad for Cameron that he's finally got that victory. Sad to see Brand crash out like that. It didn't look too bad initially but there was clearly something very wrong. It could be like van Aert's last yearRafionain-Glas11-11-2026
- since you called pidcock pogi's BIG RIVAL in another article a few days ago ... i guess adding ciccone to the mix makes him almost unbeatable, no?Ketterechts11-11-2026

- When you have four or five guys who are defined leaders of teams that are winning races or at least placing highly in big races, a lot of guys who are racing will not be seen as assets to those teams. If they can't be part of the program then they are let go. I remember back if you won a single stage of the Tour and maybe had a good classic result you would have a cemented place on a team. That is not the case now in the era we live in because the top guys are so good and their goals are so defined. It's bad in a way for them but good for us as fans.awp11-11-2026
- Lots of people seem fed up of Pogi's phenomenal dominance, but I've been drawn into watching professional cycling again (after the Armstrong doping era, that's when I stopped) because of it. I don't think I'd be as interested if it wasn't for Pogi. People call it boring, it’s the exact opposite for me, I will never ever tire of watching absolute greatness in action. He is the greatest athlete this planet has ever produced. Ad acta!!!PogiSloFans11-11-2026

- I have no sympathy for Ayuso or the situations he gets himself into. He was a traitor in the UAE team, he hated Pogi and never wanted to work for him. He always had excuses why he couldn't perform. No riders in the team liked his character and did not approve the kind of person he was on a deep, moral, or personal level. I just don't care about him. Ad acta.PogiSloFans11-11-2026
- Great response! I love the article also. Interesting to see which "Legends" will be covered. There are a few out there :-)
DareDevil11-11-2026 - This is one of the reasons why Ineos is failing, G can comment on his pod but why has he not attracted talent from the peloton to Ineos. He has lot of inside track. Also ratcliffe handling of Man United is also disastrous.abstractengineer11-11-2026

A very tough and technical ride today in Overijse. Lars van der Haar made it to the podium again in 3th place. 💪 Shirin van Anrooij got bronze as well. Again 4th for Lucinda Brand. Joris Nieuwenhuis and Thibau Nys sprinted for 5 & 6.
