Jumbo-Visma are refusing to panic about the health of Tom Dumoulin despite the news that the Dutchman has been forced to push back his season debut once more due to health reasons.

Dumoulin was scheduled to start his campaign at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana earlier this month but despite travelling to the race with his team, the 2017 Giro d’Italia winner failed to start the first stage due to illness.
