Just like Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish earlier this week, Tom Dumoulin expressed his support for doping tests being conducted between 23:00 and 06:00 recommended in the CIRC report published on Monday.

„If that means I will have bigger chance of taking the first place instead of third, it's worth it,” the Giant-Alpecin rider told AD.

„It's a tough ask and something which wouldn't make me or my girlfriend happy, but if it's going to make a life even harder for dopers, than it's a right thing to do.”
