Nys closes out storied Superprestige career in Middelkerke

Sven Nys closed out his career in the Superprestige cyclo-cross series on Saturday, finishing fourth in the Nordzeecross in Middelkerke and second overall in the series. Nys passed on the torch to world champion Wout Van Aert, who completed the 'grand slam' of cyclo-cross by winning the World Championship, and the World Cup, Bpost Bank Trofee and Superprestige series - a feat that until today only Nys has accomplished (2004-2005).
