Even though he is one the best TT guys out there... having someone like Roglic in the race, maybe he is not just banking so much on the ITTs. If he arrives in a good place for the overall win in the 3rd week and can be more solid those stages than the others. Not have a bad day or run out of steam. Then he should be good. I think consistency will be more key, than dominating.

Re:
He's turning into a mountain goat. Not entirely impossible he worked to improve his climbing while losing some TT power.

Aye, and it's not like they've changed sponsors to Skype or something (although that might have saved some money on kit).
Pretty hard to confuse the two names.

Think it's important ( if fit ) for Dumoulin to continue until the ITT to get more race kms into his legs.

Re:
If he is hurt, its no point to suffer on all the remaining stages. Just to get the race miles.
Better to abandon. Recover. Then race Suisse or Dauphine, or something like that.

Probably doing Suisse + altitude camp and then TDf. I do not think he will continue this Giro

This reminds me of all the people advocating for Froome to abandon the Giro when he was banged up and apparently out of the GC last year.
2 of the last 3 winners of the Giro were almost 5 minutes behind the leader at one point during the race.
If there's one rider who can do it, it's Tom Dumoulin.
