And that, little children, is why you don't put a monster mtf in the last mountain stage.

So true. Much better than everyone waiting for the last 3km of Bola del Mundo.

So:

(Unless Arroyo is in there somewhere?)

Arroyo disappeared after that crash maybe 80 km to go... Bad luck for him as he could have had a nice final GC.

By dirty he could mean the sticky bottle from Nibali, the way they attacked Contador after he crashed prior to Mortirolo and the hand-slinging from LLS.

Oh, and the stuff that appears in testimonies by riders like Kessiakoff. Read his book. Interesting stuff.

Astana also belongs to clinic discussion only.

Most of cycling does. It's impossible to separate the issue

Majka is a grand wheelsucker. But a damn smart one. He always makes the right moves.
My point is, people who are hating on wheelsuckers are hating on intelligence and tactical brain power.

Whatever it is Majka, Valverde or Gerrans. Those guys deserve more credit than they get.

I am not defending Astana but people got banned for clinic references in this forum.

Giant don't need to start building a mountain team just because of this, Dumoulin won't be a regular GT contender, and they are all okay

No, they don't, at least in this case Majka was just stupid. He lost the 2nd place by only a few seconds. I am not sure if he could have get them if he had helped Quintana, but it would have been close. The reason why he didnt want to help Quintana was because he was afraid of another attack by him, but if you consider how easily he could follow him that fear was nonsense.
