Frits Biesterbos (born 14 February 2002) is a Dutch cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Picnic–PostNL.[2]
During his early career, Biesterbos focused primarily on mountain biking.[3] He finished second in the Dutch elite cross-country championships in 2023.[4] In 2024, he placed in the top ten of two rounds of the UCI Under-23 World Cup. He also represented the Netherlands at the European and World Championships. At the same time, he began to compete in more road races, joining BEAT Cycling Club as a stagiaire for the second half of the 2024 season.[5] He joined the team fully in 2025, moving his focus entirely to road and gravel racing. In October, he attained a breakthrough result, winning the silver medal at the UCI Gravel World Championships, finishing ahead of Matej Mohorič.[6] Two weeks prior, he also won the Dutch national gravel championships.[7]
