'Huge stink' is an expression that will chase Dumoulin throughout his career.


Congratulations, Tom!

Amazed to hear that a country with such a long and illustrious cycling history had never produced a Giro winner though.

Congrats to all of you too!

Thanks lads,

Indeed, what a story would it have been if he had missed the pink shirt because of a shiiit.

I wonder though, could he not better have crapped his pants instead. I mean, its such an important moment. Just go on the bike.

Yeah, a bit odd, that. It's a pretty regular occurrence in road racing, you don't just dismount for a crap with the GC at stake. Not even sure why all the palaver in the UK over his rivals taking advantage to attack.

I am sure in time the story as to why will emerge. Tom will say something about it when being asked at some point.
