Tom Dumoulin made his comeback in the peloton this season after a long period of injuries. “The sports staff and I thought it was better to get off the bike”, Dumoulin says on the Jumbo-Visma website. “I was already tired at the start of the Vuelta and that feeling did not immediately improve. It made no sense to continue, because that might have consequences next season. It may not be ideal to leave the Vuelta, but I think this is the right decision. We are doing well with Primoz Roglic, so I hope that the team can bring home the victory. ”
