Team Sunweb have confirmed that Tom Dumoulin will again target the Giro d'Italia in 2018 before considering if he will also ride the Tour de France.
The German-registered team will reveal their goals for 2018 at an official presentation in Berlin on January 4. Last week well-informed Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf and Cyclingnews sources said the Dutchman would return to defend his 2017 victory at the Giro d'Italia.
Today De Telegraaf quoted a team spokesperson as saying: "Tom is going to the Giro for the classification. After the Giro d'Italia we are going to analyse his performance and only then will we decide whether he will also ride the Tour."
