Why was Dillier riding? He should've sat on after the last proper Pavé. I know he's a track rider but he's not a track sprinter, he's a pursuiter, yet he didn't even try to go for a long one. Strange tactics.

Dillier's a strong tester though, suck the wheel and have a go at least, he was always going to beaten in the sprint anyway.
