Rafal Majka discussion thread

[Miburo]

I really don't think so.

I think there's a good chance that he'll do the Vuelta.

Saxo better not pull out the same **** that liquigas did to Kreuziger.

Well if bee becomes his new nickname then this is an obvious quote.

"Fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee"

So Saxo has this guy in their team and Conti's mountain domestiques are Sorensen and Kreuziger?

If he doesn't crack and lose 20 minutes one day next week I'll be mightily impressed.

 

[Potomac]

How is his name pronounced?

[LaFlorecita]

Ok thank you

 

[The Hitch]

Ra-fal Maj-ka.

His name is Rafał not rafal and that is pronounced ra-faw.

The surname in English would strictly speaking be m-ay-ka though since other European languages also pronounce j as English y, I'm guessing that's what you meant.

And Roche (10 char)

Its the correct pronunciation, only Polish people don't talk as if they are trying to be Japanese.

holy sh.. Majka looks great today. its a training ride for him.

 

[melkemugg]

Exciting guy for sure and as Wiggo and Hesjedal is gone i think he have a serious chance to reach top 5 if he keeps up with what hes done so far.

 

[Publicus]

Hernandez and Paulhino to lesser extents. I wouldn't put Rogers high on the mountain domestique list.

EDIT: forgot about Roche.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Majka looks impressive.

Provided hes still in the game, I like to see how he handles the 20km MTT:

I think he'll be distanced by most of the other riders in the top-10.

 

[Coolair2970]

Have you seen him the las days in TOC

 

[xrayvision]

DS Dan Frost: Tomorrow Majka is ready to ride till he can taste blood!!

Moment of truth, i´ll hope he will do well, but can he beat Betancur which is his goal? Guess it will be a matter of freshness.
