Cyclo cross has arrived. And with it came Thibaut Nys.

We all waited for either Michael Vantourenhout and Eli Iserbyt to take the opening round of the exact cross in Beringhem. But it was the man who has been on everyone’s watch list for a few seasons now Nys who beat them both.

With Dad punching the barriers in excitement at track side Nys was able to out sprint Iserbyt along the finishing straight.

It was a pretty good start to the season despite unseasonably warm weather and a dusty track.#

The tough mid lap climb and the bizarre off camber descent that claimed Laurens Sweeck amongst others, was interesting to watch and a good precursor for the upcoming Namur cross.

That will definitely be more of a mudfest.

Do we enjoy cross when it’s dry? Yes, of course. It was still exciting entertaining, and the result was in doubt up until the final couple of metres.

So the road seasons done. Its time for cross, enjoy it, and we’ll keep you up to date on the website.
