Thibau Nys slams Belgian CX courses
Thibau Nys arrived in Flamanville, France, a major favourite to take back-to-back World Cup wins seven days after his round one victory in Tábor, Czechia. Before the event, the Belgian national champion had some spicy comments comparing a favourable French course to those back home.
"All the other countries seem to understand how to build cyclocross courses, except for Belgium," Nys said in his pre-race comments to camera. "No bullshit, real cyclocross. No shitty corners, just a nice flow."
Next weekend's round three takes the World Cup to Sardinia, before returning to the CX heartland with the first of six consecutive rounds, of a total seven, on Belgian soil, not to mention the late-December return of the X2O and Superprestige series. Nys himself is planning to skip the Italian World Cup round in favour of training in Spain, but is expected to be back for Namur on Sunday 14 December.
