Majka misses key moment in first summit finish
Tinkoff director Tristan Hoffman said in a team press release that he was pleased with his GC rider Rafal Majka's performance during stage 6 at the Giro d'Italia right up until the moment when he missed overall leader Tom Dumoulin's crucial attack.
"He missed the moment when Dumoulin attacked, which is a shame as I think he had the legs today, but then in the final he tried and showed that he's riding well. There was a tough head wind at the finish, which slowed him up, but it was a nice move. It was good to see that the boys hung in there for a long time today which is good for the coming stages - they've got good legs and this will be important on the tough stages to come."

Dumoulin countered Vincenzo Niabli's attack in the final three kilometres of the summit finish at Roccaraso. His move stuck and he finished fourth on the stage, picking up a handful of seconds on his GC rivals. Majka finished ninth, 11 seconds behind Dumoulin.
