    Teams & Riders Tom Dumoulin discussion thread

    I think this is a false dichotomy. Class is generally not related to the GDP of a nation but rather placement within that environment. Also the GDPs of EU countries including Slovenia are not really that significantly different.

    You don't get more but with the same amount of virus or bacteria you are more likely to get ill because you are worse at fending it off if you get hypothermic. That's why most languages associate the word 'cold' with a respiratory viral infection.

    Oddly, he doesn't seem to be feeling the pressure of GC. He said in one of the pre-race interviews that he's here to race and enjoy himself.
