2018 Paris - Roubaix

[alspacka]

I cannot believe my eyes when Dillier came round to pull just there. Amazing ride.

 

[WheelofGear]

Dillier to be Sagan's lieutenant next year? They seem to be the perfect match.

 

[silvergrenade]

Dillier hits the front! Wow!

 

[DFA123]

Dillier not getting dropped on the Carrefour should concern Sagan imo. He's not on his absolute limit yet and if he starts sitting up for the final 5km, it could get complicated.

 

[jaylew]

Mad respect for Dillier

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Dillier deserves this more than Sagan if they stay out there.

 

[Saint Unix]

Dillier has no business hanging on Sagan's wheel, let alone taking pulls. If he wins it will be historic.

 

[d-s3]

I think they agreed to cooperate till some point. Sagan kind of waited for Dillier and Dillier is then pulling once back on road.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Dillier still got 3 gels, easy win

 

[Gigs_98]

Man, this could still get close

He needs to. Gap coming down rapidly now

 

[infeXio]

Come on, Sagan

 

[Flamin]

How 'lucky' is Sagan though, encountering a 'leftover' from the early break who is 1) impressively strong and 2) willing to cooperate this much.

 

[Vroome.exe]

Dillier what are you doing. He just doesn't believe in winning this.

 

[rick james]

Dillier amazing so far

 

[Escarabajo]

Dillier already negotiated his second place. Come on guys be realistic.

 

[red_flanders]

It’s coning down fast. Come on Sagan!

Re:

Dillier is not a bad sprinter tho

Not at all.

Now the put in an effort behind. I think it was good for Sagan to have Dillier.

 

[alspacka]

lol at people criticising Dillier for riding

The gap is going down all the time, there is no time to play games right now

If he stops pulling then the chances of getting to the velodrome alone get a lot shorter. Podium in Roubaix beats 10th.

No way, that can happen in a race like Roubaix, from a break of four rouleurs you'd expect one to still be going well. Sagan closed a 40 second gap to the break solo, and then took the cobbled sections slightly easy to keep them with him. He's made his own luck here.

Of course, but the fact that he has the strength to do so is incredible.

Absolutely

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Maybe Sagan isn't as in good of form as we thought...
