Sven Nys won the Koppenbergcross nine times in his career. Now he saw his son,
Thibau Nys, triumph on the same route. For Thibau it was his third victory of the season. He previously won the Exact Cross Beringen and the Waterloo World Cup.
"Waterloo was also very special. That was also very emotional for us, his first World Cup. But this… I've won here nine times. It is a very special cross, on top of that mythical climb, which is really highly regarded in cycling. To dominate the entire race, at this age, is of a very high level," said delighted Sven Nys.
