In 2017, Dave Mable (Des Moines) and Zach Schuster (Madison) of Cyclocross Magazine, sat down with Nys at the Trek CX Cup, a UCI Cyclocross World Cup held in the back yard of the Trek Bicycle factory in Waterloo, Wisconsin.
For his latest episode of Bike Talk with Dave, Mable is sharing an interview from 2017, when he and Schuster sat down with Sven Nys at the Trek CX Cup from deep inside the Trek factory in the bike pit, staging, prep area of the Trek Cyclocross team - guys like Lars Van der Haar, Quintin Hermans and Toon Aerts were hanging out, fussing with bikes and stuff - and while Mable filmed, Schuster asked questions he’d gathered from social media.
Schuster currently works with
CXHairs and publishes the CXHairs Bulletin. He is also on Cyclocross Radio with Bill Sheiken - a great podcast about all things cross! ?
Name That Wisconsin Town, another idea to come from the mind of Schuster, is presented as a special treat at the end of this episode. He and Mable wrote down the names of several Wisconsin towns - and took them around to some of the visiting European racers. Striking gold with their first participant - Loes Sels - a Belgian cyclist who was game for fun - she enjoyed it so much, that after we went through the list of towns, she dragged the two over to then World Champion Sonna Cant, who had so much fun with it she hauled me over to Mathiew van der Poel - who willingly played along! Also participating were Eva Lechner from Italy, Caroline Mani and Steve and Lucie Chainel from France, and Ellen Van Loy from Belgium. And to get the correct pronunciations of the towns (Menomonie, Ocononomawoc, Minoqua, Chequamegon) from Wisconsin native and world cup podium winner Katie Keough. The twist at the end was asking Keough to say the name of one of the world cup stops in France; Nommay Pays de Montbeliard.
