Dutchman Dumoulin captures Giro d’Italia

-

Tom Dumoulin won the 100th Giro d’Italia in dramatic fashion Sunday, reclaiming the overall lead in a final-stage individual time trial. It’s the first Grand Tour victory for Dumoulin, a Dutchman with Team Sunweb, and it sets him up as a potential rival for three-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome. Dumoulin entered the final stage in fourth, but finished far enough ahead of his rivals over the flat 29-kilometre route from Monza’s Formula One race track to Milan’s cathedral to move back into the lead. Toronto’s Michael Woods was solid in his Giro d’Italia debut, finishing 38th. He was 104th in Sunday’s stage. Svein Tuft of Langley, B.C., finished 20th in the final stage and 142nd overall.
