Tom Dumoulin has to take a big setback | Cycling

sport">For the first time since last year’s Criterium du Dauphine, the Limburger would appear at the start of a cycling race in the Tour of Valencia, which starts on Wednesday. Depending on his recovery, he will look at where his debut for the yellow-black brigade will take place.

sport">“I became ill and now I go home,” said Dumoulin in a first reaction. “This is not the way I wanted to start my season, but I have to be wise. If you don’t feel well, it’s better not to race. I came to Spain to improve my condition, not to break it down. Hopefully I can cycle again soon. “

sport">In recent months, Dumoulin has been struggling with the aftermath of a knee injury sustained in the Giro d’Italia. As a result, he was barely able to race in 2019.

sport">At the start of this year, the winner of the 2017 Giro switched due to disrupted cooperation from Team Sunweb to Jumbo-Visma.
