Tom Dumoulin has revealed that he will return to targeting the overall classification at a Grand Tour in 2022 but did not specify if he will take aim at the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France or Vuelta a España.

The 31-year-old Dutchman decided to take out from the sport in the first months of 2021 to focus on his personal well being. However, he returned to racing at the Tour de Suisse as preparation for the time trial at the Tokyo Olympic Games and won a silver medal behind Jumbo-Visma teammate Primož Roglič
