Teams & Riders Tom Dumoulin discussion thread

[RedheadDane]

I would ask you if you've seen very few riders but then I presume you've been watching since the Valverde days.

"Been watching since the Valverde days" could also mean "Been watching since yesterday."
The Valverde days ain't over yet!

I have been watching since before Induráin retired. I don't remember that, though.

Roglic being classy, as usual:

‘Too soon’ – Primoz Roglic praises ‘big champion’ Tom Dumoulin after retirement decision - Eurosport

Speaking to Eurosport's TheCycling Show, Roglic said you “never want to lose the big names” but was glad Dumoulin was at peace with the decision.
“I have to say he’s a super nice guy, super friendly. And the retirement is a thing that is waiting for everyone at one point,” said Roglic.
“It’s just nice actually that he found the answers to some questions that he had for some years at the end and that he can enjoy his life.
“Also for the cycling world, he was a big champion. And you never want to lose the big names. It’s too soon for the big guys to leave or to stop at one moment.”
