In an interview following his victory at the race, Nys shared his views with Global Cycling Network, “It’s unbelievable, the way I won it is something I will never forget. Here in the US at the headquarters of Trek, riding solo to the line. It’s one of my best days on the bike.”

The decisive move made by Nys in Lap 5

On his journey towards his first-ever World Cup win, Nys adopted a tough road but smoothly reached success. The trio including Nys, Iserbyt, and Ronhaar managed to exhibit their skills while Nys and Ronhaar shared turns cycling in action at the front.

As both Nys and Ronhaar rushed towards clinching their first-ever victory in the World Cup, lap 5 served as a demarcation in the fulfillment of their shared pursuits. However, taking the challenging section, for example, the steep “100% hill” under his command, Nys triumphed through the last lap with flying colors securing an edge of a 13-second lead over Ronhaar. 

The Waterloo Cyclo-Cross World Cup witnessed superior technical skills both by the winner Nys and runners-up Iserbyt and Ronhaar. As Nys emerged as the winner, he picked up his cycle in one of his arms as a gesture of celebrating his victory in the world of cyclo-cross racing.
