Majka's mountain delight as Nibali stretches his lead
Rafal Majka gave the Tinkoff-Saxo team plenty to cheer about as he fought off Italy's Vincenczo Nibali to claim stage 14 of the Tour de France
Asked in the morning about his backing of Bjarne Riis’ Tinkoff-Saxo squad, the Russian banker Oleg Tinkoff explained that the money he spends is partly marketing and partly personal passion: “It’s better than spending €80m on a yacht.”
After the loss of his team leader, Alberto Contador, a little success in the form of the young Pole Rafal Majka’s stage win at the top of the 12.6km climb here will do no harm either.
