Re:

[quote=""Jeff"":y4gv1p09]That Belgian announcer for ES is just horrible.

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

 

[silvergrenade]

I'm not sure where he'll land up in the list of greats but it's possible that a new era starts with TD. He might just be the greatest rider of his generation especially as Contador, Froome, Vibali are much much older than him.

Hope he writes his name in a lot of history books.

Chapeau BigMouth Tom!
