Nys renews with Lidl-Trek

 The day of luxury renewals also involves, on the male side, a much fresher relationship this time, that between the Lidl Trek e Thibau Nys, another one who knows how to perform both on the road and in cyclocross, where in truth he has shown the best of himself so far. The son of art (father Sven (he was a legend of the mud) was protected by the American team, which thus removed the risk of losing him at the end 2026, but for now the details of the new agreement are being kept under wraps: according to the sporting director Luca Guercilena to the microphones of The Latest News .

We wanted a long-term agreement, which would not put pressure on both parties about the future: in this way Thibau will be able to grow in peace". The expiry issue has been resolved, now the Lidl Trek for his rising star he dreams of a progressive insertion into the fight for the Classics, perhaps already starting from next campaign in Ardennes, with the very ambitious goal of trying to undermine Tadej pogacar e Remco Evenepoel. "If we keep making him do the same things every year, NYS he won't learn anything new. Now we want to see him fight with the great champions. He has special traits: he is relentless when he can win and soon we hope to bring him to the Tour de France". The intervention of Guercilena continues talking about the rest of his roster Lidl Trek, with the usual NYS as the crux of the matter. "We have several talented young players on the team, but in the end what makes the difference is whether we win or not. Thibau he is very strong in some types of races and in 2024 he proved it with a win percentage second only to that of pogacar: for this year, net of the higher level, I expect it to do something similar."
