Teams & Riders Tom Dumoulin discussion thread

[postmanhat]

Rumours in the peleton (source: Adam Hansen on twitter) that Tom has deliberately lost the Pink Jjersey as his team TT suit is a lot quicker. 18s over 10k apparently. Sandalous

Some people just dont have a voice for commentary, and he is one of those.[/quote]

I think he's doing a fine job. Not spectaculair, but a good job.

Danny Nelissen and one I forgot the name of but he's the agent of Bauke Mollema.

Now we have to deal with this Belgian dude en José Been...

COME ON TOMMY!!

 

[portugal11]

Yes yes!!!!

 

[portugal11]

Don't stop the dancing, oh yeah!!! Big tom!!!

 

[Ramira]

So now he's a GT winner. Surely that means he'll have a significantly better team around him next year.

If there's a lot of TT km's in next years TDF I'd love to see him go after Froome.

 

[lartiste]

Tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great success, I am really happy for him.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

So happy for him.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Man I am so elated, what a day

Dumoulin such a champ.

Its been a long slog for us dutch fans

 

[Alexandre B.]

Congratulations, Tom Dumoulin.

You were hands down the best rider in the race. Magnificent racer.

 

[DBotero]

Amazing.I'm very happy for him.

 

[Red Rick]

I have no words...

 

[sir fly]

A victory to remember.
Showed many qualities, hats off.

He can go to the Tour just to piss the Germans off... To take the jersey away from them.

 

[SeriousSam]

Just needs the Vuelta now to equal Quintana in career GT victories

 

[movingtarget]

Very well done. He rode smart in the mountains apart from one brain fade and the TT finished the job.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Interesting to see whether this will be a one-off or he will confirm it next year or even this year. The signs so far are it isn't a one-off

I don't think another GT win is a guarantee. But it's not going to be a one-off in terms of performance. He's going to compete for many more GT victories unless something unexpected happens.

 

[Arredondo]

Another GT-win isn't a garantuee at all. That's why it's so important to grab your chance when it arrives. Just look at Kruijswijk: maybe you will never get another opportunity.

What a win!!!! YESSS!!!

 

[portugal11]

He will win la vuelta

 

[IndianCyclist]

He needs to pick and choose the TT heavy GTs. There would be at least one every year now that he is a marketable GT winner

Re:

Seems quite unlikely with only 13.8km of individual time trials and a lot of very short steep finishes.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Thanks to Dutch Eurosport for staying in Milan. Wow, still in awe....

He is good on those short steep finishes. His motor is the best since indurain

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

First time targetting a gt. Beats Quintana and Nibali. Not bad =)

Dutch curse lifted
