Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) started his race of truth looking to pull back just over two minutes on the maglia rosa. It was a tall order in a flat 34 kilometer individual time trial. But as his rainbow bands suggest, he cerainly has the skill and power to do it. While he did his best finishing just 14 seconds off of the race winning time on the stage, his rainbow stripes were no match for the boost of the maglia rosa. His ride solidified his second place over all, but wasn't enough by 56 seconds to take back the race lead that he had at the end of the first stage way back in Jerusalem. He does have two and a quarter minutes over the rider in third, Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain Merida).
