Sven: The Final Year

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

Sven Nys is a rider who needs no introduction; he is, quite simply, the Eddy Merckx of cyclocross. With two world championship titles, seven World Cup series titles, and over 140 competitive victories, Nys is widely considered one of the greatest cyclocross racers of all time. The 2015-16 cyclocross season, his last before retirement, is documented with an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look into his training, his racing, his demons, and his relationship with his son, Thibau. Sven: The Final Year, a film by van Jan Vandermotte, is the remarkable story of a living cycling legend at the edge of his prime.
