And winning on his home turf. Hardman for sure. It'll be interesting to see how Stybar does on the road this year. That dude is a badass as well.
You are pretty much a badass when you are so good you have a race named after you and then proceed to win said race 9 of the 11 times it has been put on. Dang.
HARD-Fucking-CORE Baby!!! Awesome pic!!!
Sven is my hero. Finally, no mechanicals!
Nothing like a good 'cross photo!
PS - Check out the Juniors results... 6th and 7th place USA USA USA! Andrew Dillman is a local Louisville, KY kid. Expect great things...
Gran Prix Sven Nys - Juniors Report
And I'm sure I'm not the first to notice, NO SHOECOVERS.
I say that, but to be fair, I can't tell if he's wearing leg warmers, either. You know it's a good Rule 9 day when you can't tell leg from spandex.

Check the course, and the gaps back to the rest of the group. Both are, as the Belgie commentator says, "for-mi-da-ble".
Nys' winning move comes at 13:18 or so.
Just to add another bit of cycling photography by me.
