He was basically gifted the win. Dillier has got to be the dumbest cyclist to ever exist.Netserk said:Y'a haters, take your "overrated" and stick it up where the sun doesn't shine! _O_

Nope, for skipping it last year when he actually had a chance to win with his monster shape.MuskyOurSaviour said:El Pistolero said:He was basically gifted the win.

Wouldn't that be Gilbert for targeting this race.

Nor would Terpstra last week, or at E3 though. Sagan deserved his victory for seeing how passively the cobbled favourites are racing this season, and gambling on a move which paid off.burning said:El Pistolero said:He was basically gifted the win.

If the cobbled specialists are not the dumbest cyclists of the peloton, Sagan would have never won..
Should Dillier not work, Sagan would attack and drop him. Dillier would end up - what - 15th?El Pistolero said:He was basically gifted the win. Dillier has got to be the dumbest cyclist to ever exist.Netserk said:Y'a haters, take your "overrated" and stick it up where the sun doesn't shine! _O_
Nah if it was an unimportant race Valverde would have been at the start-line.tobydawq said:El Pistolero said:He was basically gifted the win. Dillier has got to be the dumbest cyclist to ever exist.Netserk said:Y'a haters, take your "overrated" and stick it up where the sun doesn't shine! _O_
Maybe it proves the unimportance of the race since all the others didn't want to win :lol:
and gifted a win to teammate!El Pistolero said:Nah if it was an unimportant race Valverde would have been at the start-line.tobydawq said:El Pistolero said:He was basically gifted the win.

sagan clearly couldn't drop him. Dillier would have won if he sat in the wheels for the last 10km.d-s3 said:Should Dillier not work, Sagan would attack and drop him.

By working he got 2nd (and minimal chance for a win).
Dillier made very good decision.

Target the same races you know you can win without ever taking risks. Yeah, Gilbert at least has the balls to try something different and take risks. Same with Nibali who won Milan-San Remo in a brilliant fashion. Nothing worse than valverde fanboys.Blanco said:MuskyOurSaviour said:El Pistolero said:He was basically gifted the win.

Yeah, I mean it's simple, just did what Valverde does, target the race that no one else does
yeah, no. If he had that much reserves he would have won with ten bike lenghts like Boonen in 2008.SKSemtex said:I have a feeling Sagan could get rid of Dillier long time ago. they both new it and made kind of agreement. imho
I think Sagan still had huge reserve on the end.
It is quite easy to figure out on his face when he is in red.
No way chasers could bring down 1 min from 30 km mark.
Cance could not do 17 seconds in Rvv.
Sagan was strong already last week and
Iif Terpstra did not attack before Kwaremont he would have won solo after Paterberg.

Yep, just a training ride ahead of the real stuff in the Ardennes.tobydawq said:El Pistolero said:yeah, no.

He probably didn't find the race important enough to go all-out in the sprint. Saving himself for Amstel.
He could actually be a useful domestique there for Majka.alspacka said:Now he has this monkey off his back he should go to Ardennes. I think he was planning on Amstel anyway, but stay and ride Liege with no pressure.
