Despite two stage wins so far including stage 14's summit finish to Oropa, race leader Tom Dumoulin says that he is still afraid of the mountainous final week of the Giro d'Italia.

With time bonuses, Dumoulin put 24 seconds into pre-race favourite Nairo Quintana (Movistar) on the summit finish. Quintana had a gap early on the climb, but the Dutchman from Maastricht returned and dropped him for the stage win and bonus seconds.
