Dutch cyclist says goodbye to the rest of the 2021 season.

Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo Visma), with a broken wrist after being hit by a car while training, will be operated on and will miss the rest of the season. As announced by the Jumbo Visma, the season for Dumoulin, winner of the 2017 Giro and second in the 2018 Tour, has forcibly ended when he was hit by a vehicle that surprised him on a curve, causing the fracture.

The Tokyo Olympics chrono silver medalist, who recently returned to cycling after a five-month hiatus, was preparing for the World Road Championships. "It's a huge disappointment. My season is over.

Also, during training I felt very strong, I was very confident that I could run very strong this month. "Dumoulin returned to racing in June after announcing earlier in the year that he had decided to leave cycling to rethink his future.

At the age of 30, he returned in the Tour of Switzerland and then participated in the national championship winning the title for the fourth time. In Tokyo he was second to 1.01 minutes behind the Slovenian Primo Roglic, which was a great moral blow. The next big challenge was the Flanders World Cup, but a car crossed his path.
