2023-11-21 09:30:06

Thibau Nys did not hesitate to respond via media. “If necessary, I will not start the world championship“ said the Belgian into the microphone of our colleagues at VTM.

Tom Van Damme, the boss of Belgian Cycling, defended Sven Nys’ son: “Someone who is barely 20 years old deserves freedom in choosing their program, right? ? “. He found David Lappartient’s attack on Thibau Nys, “unfortunate and very unfair“.

The head of the Belgian Federation also wanted to recall that Belgium is the main breeding ground for the success of cyclocross: “The UCI must also take into account the fact that 80% of the best riders and organizers are Belgian.

If everyone dreams of greater internationalization of cyclocross, Belgian races are not ready to deprive themselves of the biggest stars, to please the UCI: “I would prefer it to be different. But you can’t expect us to give up our market share like that.” concluded Tom Van Damme.
