Is Majka under contract with Tinkoff next year? Maybe he also got a Riis clause!

46km of ITT so he could gain advantage over them there but not sure if it will be enough to overcome time bonuses.
Gaps in GC will be minimal. I will be happy if Majka top 5s with a stage win
damian13ster said:There is a small problem though. Are there any semi-decent riders left in Tinkoff that can go for Vuelta?
He might just be forced to go with 8 semi-decent guys with engine to cover him in the flat and be all alone in the mountains from a very first point the road rises

He's not the leader manSee the posts in his thread.
Anyway, I certainly think Majka will be able to beat both Piti and Purito, so it depends if Froome really goes for it as well, if Majka will contend for the win.

Miburo said:Majka **** up, de jongh didn't have to say him anything. When you're not going for stage victory and you're in front of your team leader, you wait to help him out.
Not exactly rocket science.
