No luck for Nys and Van Hoovels at Olympics

Sven Nys and Kevin Van Hoovels experienced bad luck and misfortune during the men’s Olympic cross country mountain bike race on Sunday. Nys was placed inside the top 20 and was comfortably making his way toward the leaders until a slow puncture hampered his progress during the second lap. The Belgian cyclo-cross national champion found himself losing precious time as he made his way toward the pits.
