Samuel Dumoulin wins the 2015 La Drôme Classic
The Race: Samuel Dumoulin is a fine racer. He turned pro in 2002 and won a stage that year in the Tour de l'Avenir. Since then, he has been able to win at least one race a year, some of them prestigious like the GC in the 2010 Etoile de Besseges. But in May of 2013 that run stopped and he has not won a race since then...until today.
A group including Fabio Felline, Peter Stetina, Sébastian Delfosse and Cyril Gautier has staged a late-in-the-race attack and had a small gap on the field. Dumoulin dropped the members of a small chasing group to go after the break.
Dumoulin had terrific legs today. He went after the break, and not being content with that, went right on by to cross the line alone. Nice job!
