Tom Dumoulin expressed concern about the overwhelming success of Dutch cyclists at the La Vuelta Femenina, where all stages were won by Dutch riders. He articulated that this level of dominance is not typical and could signify that women's cycling has room to grow. Although he acknowledged successes from various countries earlier in the year, like the performances from Italian and Belgian cyclists, the all-Dutch victory at the Vuelta raised questions about the competitiveness and diversity within the sport as it prepares for future challenges such as the Tour de France Femmes.
If I got it right, the Netherlands won all the stages in the Vuelta. That's not normal, is it? That's also a sign of where women's cycling can still grow.
In speed skating, we all cry that it is a small sport because we [the Netherlands] win all the medals at the Olympics, and the same can be said of women's cycling.
