Basso, who was a World Youth champion was signed by Poole Pirates during the SGB Championship 2021 season as a replacement for Ondřej Smetana, who had failed to join the team due to travel issues.

In 2022, he rode for the Peterborough Panthers in the SGB Premiership 2022 and for the Glasgow Tigers in the SGB Championship 2022.^[5][6] The move from Poole to Peterborough upset the Poole managers Matt and Dan Ford because they said that they had assisted Basso with his work permit and arranged a contract around Basso's Danish racing commitments. However Basso stated that the clash of race days was unmanageable.^[7] Also in 2022, he finished in 5th place during the World Under-21 Championship in the 2022 SGP2.^[8] Also in 2022, he helped SES win the 2022 Danish Super League.^[9]
