No rapid recovery for Dumoulin at Giro d'Italia

There were no miracles for Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) on the Giro d'Italia's 40-kilometre time trial through the rolling hills of Chianti. No wine, only for water for the Dutchman, who must already have had a sinking feeling as he sat in the start house and watched leaden drops of rain fall from the skies above.
