Thibau Nys returns to CX at this weekend's Koppenbergcross
Thibau Nys is launching his winter cyclocross programme at Koppenbergcross on Saturday 1 November, followed by Sunday's Rapencross, kicking off a relatively busy schedule, at least compared to his fellow multi-discipline campaigners.
The 22-year-old European and Belgian CX champion has not had the best year on the road, struggling to live up to his extraordinary 2024, but having not raced since the Bretagne Classic at the end of August, Nys Junior is returning to happy hunting ground: he's won both Koppenbergcross and Lokeren-Rapencross before now, in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
Koppenbergcross is a significant destination for the Nys family, as Sven Nys (now manager of his son's Baloise Glowi Lions) is the rider who has the most wins in history (nine) on the brutal Belgian course.
