Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) says that when the Giro d'Italia began in Sardinia at the start of May, he never expected he would win in Milan like he did on Sunday.

Dumoulin, 26, became the first Dutchman in the race's 100 editions to win. He dislodged leader Nairo Quintana (Movistar), who was the first Colombian to win in 2014, in stage 21's time trial today in Milan.
