"I'm looking forward to it"- Tom Dumoulin confirms the presence in some races as a TV analyst
Cycling
Tom Dumoulin, the former winner of the 2017 Giro d'Italia, and retired rider since last season is enjoying his new career as a cycling analyst at the dutch channel NOS. But now he will also be present at the finish of some races and wind his commentary performances to the fields.
"I will do the spring classics, like the Amstel Gold Race and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. And I will be at the Tour for a week or two. I'm looking forward to it. Whether I have followed much cycling since retirement? Yes quite a lot. And what I find very striking is that there has really been a professionalization.", Dumoulin revelead.
Despite still being relatively young, 32 years old, and retiring only last season, Dumoulin hasn't been riding much on his bike, just in a recreational way, so the possibility of a return to the professional races doesn't seem it will ever materialize.
"I haven't ridden much lately, but that's because the weather has been bad. I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike. I can't wait.", he concluded.

- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
