Thibau Nys (Baloise Trek Lions) was the strongest behind the Dutch world champion, Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) this Friday in Loenhout. The European champion beat his compatriot in the sprint Laurens Sweeck (Crelan-Corendon), thus taking second place. After a complicated start, Nys came back little by little before pushing hard in the last lap, noting that he probably had more technique than his compatriots Laurens Sweeck et Wout Van Aert (Visma Lease a Bike). In his post-race interview, the 22-year-old explained his poor start and affirmed his ambitions to try to follow the Dutch ogre, Mathieu Van der Poel.

Thibau Nys looks back on his bad start, which he explained by a puncture in his post-race interview: “I had a puncture in the middle of the first lap. I didn’t lose much time, but I lost connection with the race lead. After that I had to chase all the time, I didn’t I was never really with them. Fortunately, with Wout Van Aert, I had a good companion. Second place was the maximum I could achieve today anyway. at the European Championships and in Overijse. It just depends a little on which course I perform the best. I’m now looking forward to Diegem. Besides, I want to try to follow Mathieu Van der Poel in one of the next crosses.concludes the European champion of the discipline.
