Holy hell! Nys with one of the strongest races of his entire career here! After a flat tire he was 60th. On a tough profile he returned to place 2 in the final round! Then too much risk, eventually 4 but what a comeback!
Indeed. Another Mud-Masterclass by Nys. I agree with you about the muddy tracks Ollfardh, but I think there should be a wide variety of different tracks so the most complete complete rider can win the classifications.
