Re: Re:
How can you say that since they didnt yet get to the final climb? It is possible he could have stayed with them. That is true, although we will never know.
My response was based on the previous stages. He was dropped previously on multiple stages, that's why he was so far back in GC and had no chance for victory anymore. That's why it makes sense that Majka didn't spend his energy to save Contador couple more seconds. Not because of today's stage alone, because of entire Tour.
It is just more of a benefit for a team to use that energy to try and get a stage win tommorow or on friday.
He was completely fine with being a domestique until Contador was way behind in GC.
And I dont understand what happened to him today either. Hard to believe he got dropped so hard, not after performance on stage 11 shown that he is in shape.
Something weird must have happened

He had no issue working before it turned out that Contador is weak.
Well, today he could've keep up with the leaders if he didn't crash. So that's why Majka should've waited for him so he can limit the damage. If he's too talented and he doesn't want to do the work a domestique does, he should go, Tinkov should release him next year. You treat Majka like he's some kind of an unreal talent that cycling didn't have until now and Tinkoff will be demolished if he goes. Landa, who's a better climber than Majka any day, helped Aru in Giro. Now imagine Majka to be the 2nd man and help Kreuziger in Giro or Vuelta. He would never do that.
