Nys races to victory ahead of Kabush, Paulissen in Gooik

Belgian Sven Nys defeated Canadian Geoff Kabush and compatriot Roel Paulissen on Thursday at the Belgian Grand Prix in Gooik. It was Nys' second mountain bike race of the season; his first - after a long cyclo-cross season - was this past weekend.

"I really hadn't expected this," Nys told Sporza after his victory. "I had trained well, but you don't really know what your condition is."
