In a festively decorated hall, visitors to the launch could experience a true cycling atmosphere. Techies were amazed by the latest Trek bicycles and gravel bikes, while enthusiasts could also immerse themselves in pure racing nostalgia. Many special and signed cycling uniforms decorated the hall.
Welcomed by Trek, the visitors first received a presentation about the bicycle brand, which, among other things, does the R&D for their city bicycles from the office in Harderwijk. Afterwards, visitors could prepare themselves in a theater setting for a live recording of the film WielerFlits Podcast. Sven Nys came over from Belgium especially for the occasion and our guests.
The living cross legend shared wonderful anecdotes about his long and rich career. For example, there was a look back at his last World Cup victory, where he defeated Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel, while there was also talk about the return to the field of the two champions.

He also elaborated on his relationship with Trek and of course also discussed his son Thibau. He is currently one of Belgium’s greatest talents, both in the field and on the road. The entire conversation breathed top sport and could count on the approval of the audience. After the live podcast, the audience also had the opportunity to ask Nys questions, which was eagerly taken.
The first copy of the RIDE Winter Guide was officially presented to Nys, after which the now traditional networking drinks for the cycling industry were on the program. The special one WielerFlits Podcast with Sven Nys from the RIDE Launch Party can soon be listened to and seen on YouTube and all podcast channels.
