According to the well-informed Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, and confirmed by Cyclingnews sources, Tom Dumoulin will target the Giro d'Italia once again in 2018.
Dumoulin won the Sportsman of the Year award in the Netherlands on Tuesday night, crowning a successful 2017 season that also include victories at the world time trail chsmpionships and the BinckBank Tour WorldTour race.
Dumoulin said he had decided his Grand Tour goals for 2018 at the presentation of the Giro d’Italia route on November 29 but insisted he would only reveal his final decision at the Team Sunweb presentation in Berlin in the New Year.

Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport suggested in the immediate aftermath of the Giro d’Italia presentation that Dumoulin would line out for the 101st edition of the Italian Grand Tour. However, there were other indications that Dumoulin would opt to target overall victory at the Tour de France for the first time in his career.
De Telegraaf journalist Raymond Kerckhoffs cited sources in Italy in his report, saying that both Team Sunweb and Dumoulin have confirmed with Giro d’Italia organiser RCS Sport that the Dutchman will be on the start line in Jerusalem, Israel on May 4.
Cyclingnews has since had confirmation that Dumoulin will indeed again target the Giro d'Italia in 2018.
