Tibor Del Grosso, a rising star in professional cycling, reflects on comparisons to teammate Mathieu van der Poel following his first pro victory at the Presidential Tour of Turkey. While acknowledging similarities due to their backgrounds and strengths, Del Grosso humbly separates his journey from Van der Poel's, emphasizing the uniqueness of the latter's talent. Del Grosso, at just 21 and in his first pro season, has shown promise with strong performances on the road and a distinguished record in cyclocross, where he is the reigning under-23 world champion.
I get compared a lot with Mathieu van der Poel, being from the same team and the same country, and maybe a similar type of rider.
He's out of this world. I'd love to come close to being as good as he is but I don't know if a new Van der Poel exists.
