Team BikeExchange confirmed that Tom Dumoulin is among the riders it is looking at for the future, to slot into a potential GC role, but emphasised it’s not a decision the Australian-based squad would be making anytime soon. 

There was a quickly denied report in L’Equipe last month suggesting Dumoulin could break his contract at Jumbo-Visma and move to Team BikeExchange for 2022. While Cyclingnews earlier revealed an immediate move is not in the cards, ongoing discussions about a potential place in the team in the future are continuing, as the Dutch rider shifts out of contract at the end of the 2022 season.
