The young 22-year-old runner declared: “Then I will go to the Basque Country, then I will participate in the Amstel Gold Race, the Flèche Wallonne, perhaps Liège-Bastogne-Liège, and then Eschborn-Frankfurt. I think it's an excellent sequence compared to what I did last year and a very good preparation for my goals.” In an interview with the media CyclingNews, Steven de Jonghsports director of the team Lidl-Trekfelt that it was now more likely to see Thibau Nys compete for your first Tour de France in 2025.

“He will prepare either for the Tour de France or for the Tour of Spain…”
In this interview, the Dutch sports director said: “2025 was the year we always planned for him to ride his first Grand Tour. Now, if we analyze all the options, I think the Tour de France would suit him the best, to be honest. Spain could also be an option, but in the whole planning process I think the Tour de France seems like the ideal choice for him Taking into account what happened to Mads. [Pedersen] last year, who crashed on the 5th stage and left Lidl-Trek without its only leader, if Jonathan Milan crashes on the first stage – which can happen, because mass sprints are dangerous. If we choose Thibau [Nys]there are stages that suit him perfectly, where we could still aim for a stage victory. After his cyclo-cross season, he will take a break, then prepare, and his program will be designed so that he is ready for the Tour de France [ou le Tour d’Espagne]“concludes Steven de Jonghin an interview given to our colleagues at CyclingNews.
