Dutch racer Delano Heeren scored another gold medal for the home nation at the Cyclo-cross World Championships, soloing to the finish to win the junior men’s rainbow jersey.
The 17-year-old’s success follows on from the Netherlands’ success in the mixed relay, which Heeren also participated in, and Lucinda Brand‘s elite women’s triumph on Saturday.
Behind him, Lejeune and 2025 silver medallist Soren Bruyère Joumard (France) were among those leading the chase, though nobody seemed able to match the solo Italian out front.
Grigolini kept adding to his lead, pushing the advantage to 12 seconds with two laps to run. Behind, it became clear that Bruyère Joumard wouldn’t repeat his result from last year as he dropped back from Lejeune in the chase. The Belgian couldn’t make any real inroads into Grigolini’s lead, however.
