bpost Bank Trofee 6 – GP Sven Nys 2013/14

John Mx

Round six of the bpost Bank Trofee held in the home town of World Champion Sven Nys at Baal/Tremelo, Belgium on January 1 2014.

A debute win for Sven Nys and Trek by Balant Hamvas – buy his 2012/13 Cross Annual

The Grand Prix Sven Nys had the extra interest of being the first race where riders debute for new teams or compete on a new brand of bike. Notably Sven Nys forsook his Colnago of many, many years for a  Trek (and with disck brakes!) for his new Crelan AA Drink Team and Rob Peeters appeared in his new Vastgoed Service Golden Palace colours and aboard a Colnago.

Other transfers of note are Dieter and Michael Vanthournhout who both switch to Sunweb Napoleon Games from BKCP-Powerplus. Under 23 hotshot Mathieu van der Poel upgrades from the feeder team and joins Vincent Bastaens at BKCP-Powerplus proper. Julien Taramarcaz is now at Kwadro Stannah moving from BMC.
