Teams & Riders Tibor Del Grosso, the next big thing?

[KZD]

Discussion thread for one of the most interesting young riders on the cyclocross scene with a bright future on the road too. Just beat Wout van Aert on the cyclocross a few days ago and already got a pro win last year in the Tour of Turkey at 21 and I have a feeling 2026 will be quite a big year for him.

I agree, definitely with Grosso in his name. A lot can be done with that.

Thanks for starting the thread, he could've gotten his big win last year already without Brennan. I expect one this year

Early, really, he was world u23 cross champ two years ago and last season as well.

Not very early: he was picked 2 years ago in both the main CQ game and the emerging riders game.

4th post is early.
Are you one of those that get mad when more people start listening to your fav indy band?

Really impressed with Del Grosso's cross season, won three races and finished second on several occasions behind Van der Poel including yesterday in the Worlds. He showed that he is already one of the best and given that he is 22 we can expect him to improve further.

Now onto the road, I expect his cross improvement to translate onto the road and it will be needed given the losses of Vermeersch and Hermans. He says that he will start his season in March but still no races confirmed. Peronsally, I would like him to race the big cobbled classics and the Vuelta.

Done.
