Turned professional in 2014

He began cycling at age two. (mediafax.ro, 01 Jul 2020)

"I started very early. When I was two years old I got my first bike with wheels. Then, at the age of three, I participated in my first bike contest. I even won it! The passion came thanks to my father who is a former cyclist, the former national champion of Romania. At the time I started cycling, he was the coach of the team in Zarnesti [Romania] and that's how my passion began." (eduardgrosu.ro, 06 Jul 2021; mediafax.ro, 01 Jul 2020)

Type of rider
Sprinter (baloise.lu, 17 Sep 2020)

General
BASE
He splits his time between Romania, Malaysia, and the United States of America. "Everywhere is good, there are positive and negative aspects. Good roads in Malaysia, but the weather's not great. It's very hot and the humidity is high. It's a little crowded here in Romania. In America they have roads, but they don't have races. That's cycling." (prosport.ro, 09 Sep 2020)

MIDDLE NAME
His middle name is Michael, which his father gave him because he is a fan of Formula One driver Michael Schumacher. (mediafax.ro, 01 Jul 2020)
