Dumoulin back training for Olympics after Tour de France fracture -Video
Dutchman could ride the Acht van Chaam criterium before trav🦩elling to Rio






168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Dumoulin has revealed that he is back training in preparation for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rio Olympics just four days after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:crashing out of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France with a fractured radius bone in his arm.
The Dutchman is considered one of the favourites for the hilly time trial course in Rio on August 10 but his participation is in doubt after his crash during stage 19 of the Tour de France last Friday. He touched wheels and landed heavily, suffering a clean break in his forearm. He quickly left France for a specialist medical check-up and a decision over surg🗹ery. He is likely to race in 🍰a special brace that will hold and protect his arm during the Games.
Before his crash Dumoulin showed his for𒈔m at the Tour de France by w🐻inning a mountain stage of to Andorra Arcalis and the key time trial to Le Caverne de Pont d'Arc.
Following the cr🧸ash Dumoulin was initially downbeat about his chance of competing 🐈in Rio but seemed far happier in a brief video posted on Twitter and in other recent messages.
“Look what I’m doing? All is a bit stiff but it’s okay, at least I can ride my bike,” Dumoulin said, apparently filming himself from the saddle, adding “Don’t try this at home,” befor𒁏e continuing his ride.
According to reports in Belgium and the Netherlands Dumoulin could even ride the Acht van Chaam criterium later this week as a further test📖 of his arm and recovery. If he is okay to travel to Rio, Dumoulin is likely to head to South America at♈ the weekend so he can acclimatize in time for the men’s time trial on August 10.
