"This is a goosebumps moment" - Sven Nys full of pride after son Thibau's European Championship victory

One of the greats of cyclocross history, Sven Nys was beaming with pride after the 2024 European Championships having seen his son Thibau Nys complete a sensational victory in Spain and become European champion.
“Thibau played it very maturely and maturely today. He waited for the right moments and he was on a roll the entire race,” a delighted Nys senior told VTM after the dramatic finale to the 2024 European Championship in which Thibau Nys overcame a brave effort from home crowd hero Felipe Orts to emerge victorious. “His cyclocross season didn’t start off great due to his busy summer and an illness, but now winning in Overijse and also taking that jersey here... I don’t really have the words for it. This is a goosebumps moment. You’re really up against the pros here.”
"Fortunately, we can end the day beautifully. A title like that is something a team can pull itself up on," Sven Nys continues. "It gives wings. His explosiveness and killer instinct have allowed him to finish this off. Thibau can handle the pressure very well and actually gets a kick out of jerseys."
Nys also has already got some plans in mind for the best way to celebrate his son's biggest career achievement to date. "There will be a big smile on his face later and he will get a big hug from me. A good glass of red wine will do tonight," the Belgian icon concludes.

- 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. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
