Pim Ronhaar is a fascinating rider. He didn’t do the same road program as Thibau, but his ambitions are probably just as big in cyclocross. How can he take himself to the next level?
Nys: The potential for Pim Ronhaar is becoming one of the three best cyclocross riders in the peloton. That’s what I see. That’s what I feel with his engine, with his mental strength and in the technique he has.
He’s young. He learned a lot in the last few years about himself, about the riders who he needs to race with. And for the summer season, we are looking more now at what’s the best situation for him, whether that’s a Continental program, or maybe stepping up to the World Tour and trying to have results there.
He was a stagiaire with Lidl-Trek last month, but he became sick near the end, so he needs to recover a little bit right now. But I’m convinced, and I expect, that he can be at the top three in the world for cyclocross.
