- Tom Dumoulin is one of cycling's most formidable athletes. From his remarkable victories to his indelible impact on the sport, I retrace Dumoulin's journey.
From his extraordinary performance at the 2017 UCI Road World Championships, where he dominated the time trial, showcasing his unparalleled skill and determination to his compelling battles in the Tour de France.
Dumoulin's legacy in cycling is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and this video pays homage to his enduring influence on the sport.
Tom Dumoulin, a true icon in the world of cycling, retired at the age of 31. Do you think he left the sport just in time or too soon?

A little about myself:
New to my channel? Well, I'm an average recreational cyclist that recently moved from America to Girona, Catalunya, Spain. The Vuelta España and The Tour of Catalunya will all be held here! Sometimes I race and when I do, I share my training with you along the way. So far, I've done crit racing, road racing and gravel racing. I haven't done a duathlon or a triathlon yet, but it is something I am thinking about!
So far in Spain, I’ve seen DSM cycling, SD Worx, Team Jayco Alula, Rally / Human Powered Health cycling, Ineos, Arkea cycling, UAE team emirates and more all training here. Did you know there’s also a GCN studio here?

Enjoyed the video! Out of respect for the sport, please learn to pronounce the riders names correctly as well as the names of the jerseys.
@@Tmutombohaha. I think it’s pretty evident from my content that I respect and love the sport of cycling. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Tom dumulin legend
Cycling fans wll miss you enjoy your retirement i hope u found peace happiness health
Thank you Tom dumulin
he was my favorite rider. i have never been more bummed when a rider retired.
Same, man. Great rider and he seems like he’s a really genuine guy as well.
Class rider. Deserved more success but had his share of bad luck. Don’t think he had the team support that others had but still was fighting and battling. Absolutely one of the all time greats. Mentoring kids to get on their bikes. My hero of modern cycling. I Wish him all the best.
Just In time, better to go a tad early than a tad late, god bless Tom 🫶
nice style great on the bike i miss him but he took his decision he could win more even with opposition
since i was a kid i have dreamed to see another dutchman win a grand tour, so it made me extremely happy when he won the Giro. specially cuz of the year before that when Kruiswijk lost his Giro in the worst way possible. the tour de france he almost won was also very special, i really think he could have won that with a bit more luck. i think the nail that hit his coffin was the year he crashed out of the Giro, cuz since then it started to go downhill, with only a few one day races (TTs) where he still could be his best. wonder what would have happened if he had not crashed out of that Giro and didnt have such a long road of recovery where he started to doubt if it all was still worth it.
i hope i dont have to wait as long as before Dumoulin to see another dutch grand tour winner, tho we do have MvdP doing great things nowadays, but no potential grand tour winner in the near future.
Agreed, I think he was fully capable of winning the Tour De France. Bouncing back from the injuries he had must’ve been physically and mentally exhausting.
Enjoyed that, thank you for the content! 🎉 In the end, if Tom says this is what makes him happy then it was a good time to go. If you’ve been one of the best and you can’t be anymore, that must be hard to take. Will never be able to fully appreciate this, as have never been one of the best (or even close) 😂
I haven’t been close to being the best either 😂
Chris Horner has a video out about how Coca Cola can upset a cyclist’s system when drunk on an empty stomach. He uses some race footage of a cyclist stripping down to poop and it’s poor ol’ Tom 😅😂 God love him!!
Haha when you gotta go you gotta go! I like Chris’s content. I actually met him in San Diego at a random coffee shop. Really nice guy!
Amstel Gold Race definitely does not take place in the heart of the Netherlands, completely the opposite in facts
Nothing new here.
