Tour de France 2014: Rafal Majka takes second mountain victory

Tour de France 2014: Rafal Majka takes second mountain victory

Wednesday Juli 23th, 2014 - Only 124,5 kilometres but they are loaded with three category-1 cols and a top finish at Pla d'Adet, a hors catégorie climb. Not only does is sound like spectacle, it is from kilometre 1. Riders like Rodríguez, Majka, Mollema, Van den Broeck and Rolland attack at the first col and one of them is strong enough to take the early break to a splendid victory. Just like he did at Risoul, Rafal Majka soloes his name into the (Tour)history books.
