Belgian cyclo-cross star Sven Nys is aiming to contest the 2010 Ronde van Vlaanderen after announcing yesterday that he would leave the Rabobank squad for Landbouwkrediet-Tönissteiner. Nys signed with Landbouwkrediet-Tönissteiner for three years, which sees him leave Rabobank after 10 years with the Dutch squad, in the hope of completing a more diverse program that will include more road racing in the future.
