Tom Dumoulin (Dutch pronunciation: [tɔm dy.mu.lɛ̃]; born 11 November 1990) is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer for UCI WorldTeam Team Sunweb. In 2017 he became the first male Dutch rider to win the Giro d'Italia.
Dumoulin was born in Maastricht, and grew up in the city near the Maas Boulevard, which used to host the finish of the Amstel Gold Race. Originally his ambition was to study medicine and become a doctor, but after not being offered a place at medical school he began a Health Sciences degree. Dumoulin did not enjoy classes and within a year he opted to pursue cycle racing for a year.
Dumoulin first made an impact in 2010, when he competed at the , part of the UCI Under 23 Nations' Cup – Dumoulin won the race's opening time trial, despite never having ridden a time trial bicycle before, and went on to win the race overall. Later that year he won a time trial stage of the Girobio. He was due to ride for Cervélo TestTeam in 2011, however the team disbanded at the end of the 2010 season.
After riding for the Rabobank Continental Team in 2011, Dumoulin turned professional with the Dutch Project 1t4i team in 2012. Although he didn't win any races in his first two seasons as pro, he began to make his mark in major races, especially in time trials. He made his grand tour debut in 2012, riding the Vuelta a España.
