Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) had only one option if he was going to win the Giro d'Italia. Attack, attack, attack. With ten kilometers left to race for GC, Dumoulin went hard on a steep section of the climb up to Cervinia. Chris Froome (Sky) was quickly on to the Dutchman's wheel. The two traded blows the rest of the way up to the finish of the last stage of hostilities. The stage on the streets of Rome will be one for the sprinters, but it is tradition not to attack the Maglia Rosa on the final day of the Giro, as it is in the Tour de France or the Veulta d'Espania. At this point, Dumoulin was the only one in the group with a teammate. He had the able assistance of Sam Oomen, who was hoping that he could help is team leader while also moving up in the Maglia Bianca for himself.
