Silvan Dillier earned the BMC Development Team's first victory by winning the overall classification Sunday at the Tour de Normandie.

Dillier took a three-second win over Alexandre Blain (Team Raleigh), whom he overtook for the lead after Friday's stage of the seven-day French race. Blain made it close on the final 137 km stage by winning a three-second intermediate time bonus sprint, but Dillier earned one second himself by placing third. Tino Thömel (Team NSP-Ghost) won the last stage as Dillier placed 15th. Dylan Van Baarle (Rabobank Development Team) finished third overall, at eight seconds.

"This is the greatest victory I have had so far for sure," Dillier said. "It is also an overall victory and I have never won a stage race before, so this is really special. I am really happy. The team did a great job for me. They protected me the whole day. It was a really great job they did all week
