Former world time trial champion Tom Dumoulin has said that Jonas Vingegaard's stage 16-winning ride at the Tour de France was "the best time trial ever."

The Dutch ex-pro, a time trial specialist and 2017 Giro d'Italia winner, made the comments on Tuesday evening following Vingegaard's dominant display in the 22.4km time trial to Combloux.
