Koppenbergcross winner Thibau Nys (Baloise Glowi Lions) had a day that he would rather forget. After changing bikes multiple times in the early laps, hitting his bars in frustration and losing time, he then went down twice, going over the bars in the sand section and overcooking a corner. Ultimately, the European and Belgian champion finished 15th, 3:37 back.<\/p>\n
