So you think Gilbert could have dropped Devolder, eh? If he couldn't gap him on the hills, he wasn't going to gap him on the flat run in. Gilbert has never considered himself a sprinter, but what the hey, maybe Devolder didn't know who he was riding with.
I can't figure out why, if Devolder was working in the final 10k, the news services, Gilbert, and Devolder are reporting that he wasn't.
