Biography

[edit]

As a junior (under-19), Del Grosso achieved international results in both road cycling and cyclo-cross. In 2020, he became the Dutch national junior cyclo-cross champion.[5] In 2021, he focused almost exclusively on road cycling and won the national titles in the road race and the individual time trial.[6] He won the general classification of the Ronde des Vallées, as well as a stage of the SPIE Internationale Juniorendriedaagse.[7] When he joined the under-23 category for the 2022 season, he signed with the UCI Continental team Metec–Solarwatt p/b Mantel. With this team, he achieved numerous top-10 finishes in his first season. Also active in mountain biking, he became the Dutch national under-23 cross-country champion in 2022.[8] In cyclo-cross, he concentrated on the major races, the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, and the championships. He made his breakthrough in the 2022–2023 season, becoming the Dutch national under-23 cyclo-cross champion[9] and finishing second overall in the Under-23 World Cup, after winning his first World Cup race in Besançon.[10] At the end of the season, at the World Championships on home soil, he became vice-world champion in the under-23 race[11] and world champion in the mixed relay.[12]

At the end of the 2023 season, Del Grosso joined the UCI Continental team Alpecin–Deceuninck Development Team.[13] During the 2023–2024 cyclo-cross season, he won four rounds and the general classification of the Under-23 World Cup, and became under-23 cyclo-cross world champion ahead of Belgians Emiel Verstrynge and Jente Michels.[14][15]
