Superprestige #4 - Gieten - C1Gieten, Netherlands, November 26, 20052005 Results Results Superprestige standings Past winners Nys gives a performance in GietenSven Nys continues string of victories in Superprestige SeriesBy Brecht Decaluwé Nys continued his string of victories in the Superprestige Series with a convincing win in Gieten on Sunday afternoon. The only two riders who threatened the Belgian superstar were teammate Gerben De Knegt and the up-and-coming Klaas Vantornout (Fidea). The race started with a minute of silence in memory of Isaac Galvez, who died Sunday morning after a crash in the Gent 6-day competition. Nys (Rabobank) - the UCI-leader in cyclo-cross - expressed his condolences when asked about what happened with Isaac Galvez. "This is sad for cycling but it's especially a drama for his family and everybody around him." Once the racing began, Nys enjoyed a good start (in contrast to yesterday's Koksijde World Cup where Nys stumbled at the start). Nys early pressure left Bart Wellens (Fidea) chasing to get back to Nys, De Knegt and Vantornout. Two laps from the finish, Nys launched his ultimate acceleration in a sand pit and rode untroubled towards victory. "On this course it was much harder to ride away from the opposition," Nys said. "Until halfway the race I was only busy with defending my good position in the Superprestige Series, I would've been happy with a top three spot. When I noticed the others had a hard time dealing with my tempo I started thinking about the victory," Nys explains. Klaas Vantornout enjoyed a great weekend finishing sixth in Koksijde and third today. Hans Van Kasteren, team manager of the Fidea team will be happy that he has another big gun in his ranks. "Yesterday I dug deep to become sixth, today I was surprised to see I was even stronger. So I learned something on the age of 24, that I don't need more than a day to recover," Vantornout said. "When Nys accelerated I didn't want to blow up my legs, a few moments later I noticed that De Knegt couldn't follow either so Nys was really going fast," Vantornout said."
