PHOTO: Thibau Nys enjoys late holidays after an extensive cyclocross season
OtherThursday, 12 February 2026 at 03:00
The cyclocross season ended for many with the World Championships in Hulst on February 1st. That particularly applies for the men who have their road obligations which includes the entire podium from Hulst; Mathieu van der Poel, Tibor del Grosso and Thibau Nys. After a long winter programme, the past week and a bit were therefore a perfect opportunity for brief holiday.
For Nys, this was a perfect opportunity to enjoy some time relaxing with his girlfriend Anna Eikendal, and a group of friends. As a destination, the Dutch-speaking group chose Austrian Alpes, although specific destination was kept a secret (unless you're a geoguesser).
Besides alpine skiing, the group also enjoyed time within their accomodation; such as a cold outdoor pool and a bar, as is evident from Eikendal's Instagram story.
Back to work, Nys kicks off his road season with the GP Miguel Indurain on April 4th, a race he won on his season debut year ago. This will be followed by the Itzulia Basque Country, the Ardenne classics, and Eschborn-Frankfurt.

- Give it a rest. Remco has over 30 wins at WT, WC or Olympics level, including over time a few serious whuppings of Pogi. Everyone knows that Pogi is the GOAT. But that hardly means that top 10 riders like Jonas, Remco, MvdP, Almeida, Mads etc. are nobodiesmobk11-02-2026

Rafionain-Glas11-02-2026 - Obviously the best thing would be to remove the winners of (most) Grand tours from 1991 to 2005 from the history books to truly clean the records of EPO. Non-EPO doping, the sort Lemond and Merckx used, have to be included as clean. The thing is that it's not possible to go by the obvious, only what was proven right after the EPO era ended. Armstrong confessed early enough after retirement, while Riis and Ullrich confessed later, relatively, and Pantani died. It's obvious that Induráin was, like them, doping, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that (as much as I would like it to). All this was decided quite a while ago, and no-one wants to go back to discussing it, as it's cut and driedRafionain-Glas11-02-2026
- he experimented on himself with amph pilules 💊 as all did in his generation. double standard.aphg111-02-2026
- you think he was battling hinault and fignon without taking amph? delusionalaphg111-02-2026
- Armstrong should still be listed as winning 7 Tours. All of his competitors were doping also. For example the 3 still-listed Tour winners prior to him were all obviously doping. Bjarne Riis (1996) admitted using EPO while winning but is still listed as the winner. Jan Ulrich (1997) later admitted to doping. Marco Pantani (1998) was later caught using EPO. Armstrong is no more a cheat than thousands of other riders. LeMond should publicly state this.Xrider5111-02-2026
