Tibor del Grosso is the new under-23 Cyclocross World Champion. After a very impressive showing in Tabor on Saturday afternoon, the Dutchman took a dominant win.
"It definitely wasn't as easy as it looked. It was a tough course and the conditions made it even more difficult. So I really suffered," confessed the Alpecin-Deceuninck prodigy in his first words since becoming world champion in his post-race interview.
Last year, del Grosso was forced to settle for second behind Thibau Nys, who has since gone on to prove himself with victories amongst the elite this winter.
"This means so much to me," del Grosso concludes. "I always dreamed of becoming world champion and it's cool that I was able to achieve that here."
Completing the podium in the Czech Republic were Emiel Verstrynge and Jente Michels of Belgium.

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
