    Time tumbling. Is that right?

    Terpstra making the last push, taken 10-15"

    He's still got to deal with him if he catches him, and he hasn't dropped all of his group.

    I won't be surprised if/when Sagan goes alone but i don't get why people saying Dillier looks tired. Looks great to me.


    I said that, but he does look great now, must have been a short spell where he looked chinstrapped
    Trek,,,, too cool for school ,, apparently

    Sagan needs to get Dillier to still work and not to just sit on. Has a history of losing sprints against slower riders after long races

    Am I the only one with Sagan love here ? :)

    Watching the odds on favourite riding off from 55km while everyone looks at each other isn't my idea of a fun Sunday.

    Hell, at least when Gilbert did it in last year's Flanders there was a proper chase.
    Odds on favourite? 2 star chance at best according to some.

    Had shortest odds at the bookies (well the UK ones)

    Probly cause he`s one of the half dozen cyclists UK bookies have heard of.

    Dillier comes to the front when they hit tarmac again.

    Gap 1 minute.

    Chasing group only 4 riders, I thought there were more

    I imagine Sagan told Dillier "you take some turns on the tarmac, I'll lead the pave"

    You'd finish 7th instead of 2nd then.

    The GVA group is down to 4 now so maybe they will work properly. Will be too little too late though surely.

    Sagan going for a lot of gels.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Yep. Sagan gets caught he sits in the wheels and tries for the sprint, Doesn't have all his eggs in the staying away basket.

    Popped into my local bar in Chiang Mai to find the cycling on the telly and a classic 70s punk mix playing on the stereo. Superb day.

    Just left there last weekend, will check the blog out, couldnt find anywhere in Bangkok that was showing it

    Although gel probably still works timing wise

    You'd think.

    Maybe he's getting a hunger knock? That would make it interesting ;)

    Gap down to 50.

    If Dillier takes this (unlikely i know) he sooooo deserves it.

    Dillier definitely deserves it. Great ride! Sagan as well though. Awesome ride with all the pressure in the world
