First Giro days crucial for Limburg star
BUDAPEST – The first four Giro days will be crucial for Tom Dumoulin. After a nervous overture with a difficult end, his time trial legs are immediately tested over 9.2 kilometers, after which all GC riders are completely thrown to the lions in stage four. On the volcano Etna (22.8 kilometers at 5.9 percent) it will become clear whether the 31-year-old Limburger has managed to prepare himself in time to play for his second overall victory. “Luck hasn’t been on my side yet.”
