Dillier joined {{UCI team code|ALM|2018}} for the 2018 season to bolster the team's classics squad, but he suffered a broken thumb at Strade Bianche. He returned to racing in April 2018 and won his comeback race, Route Adélie.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/dillier-peter-sagan-was-an-angel-and-a-devil-in-the-same-person/|title=Dillier: Peter Sagan was an angel and a devil in the same person|date=8 April 2018}} At Paris–Roubaix, Dillier was part of a nine-man early breakaway that escaped from the peloton after an hour of racing, and was leading with Jelle Wallays ({{UCI team code|LTS|2018}}), until the pair were caught by world champion Peter Sagan ({{UCI team code|BOH|2018}}), who had attacked from the group of favourites with around {{convert|53|km|abbr=off}} remaining. Dillier was able to stay and work with Sagan all the way to the finish at Roubaix Velodrome, where Sagan won the two-up sprint finish.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/peter-sagan-takes-spectacular-paris-roubaix-victory-after-attacking-with-55km-to-go-375809|title=Peter Sagan takes spectacular Paris-Roubaix victory after huge 54km attack|first=Henry|last=Robertshaw|work=Cycling Weekly|publisher=Time Inc.
