Yeah no comparison to the lame wheelsucking Majka will do during the Tour! 
Imo they brought a better line up to the Giro than they will bring to the Tour.
Except for Mr. Green Jersey and Buchmann if he will be on the team. |

Yeah, Majka wheelsucked so much during his Tour career , that he has won two polka dot jerseys and three stages. Last year he was in the breakaway almost every stage in last week...
He is a rider that does not care about his teammates or leaders, but hardly a "lame wheelsucker".

Well, he is a "wheelsucker", when he rides for the GC.
But lets face it. Cycling is about tactics and riding in the slipstream of other riders is mostly a very good tactic. I don't think that someone can blame a rider, for hiding in the slipstream and winning a race after that. Sure, attacking and winning alone is a more beautiful way to win, but hey, it's mainly about winning and as long as you don't win through being unfair, heads off for getting the other riders to work for you.

Majka doesnt have the acceleration to attack strong GC riders whereas from the breakaway its a very different ballgame thats why hes so conservative when riding for GC I think.
Majka is savage, he winks, he pushes off a motorbike. I like him. |

On top of that that 4km local lap was not very useful in a 220k+ stage already. Probably a bit of a show-off but I think that could've been done in other ways.

That was a great sprint at least. Gaviria clearly the quickest, but nice to see Ewan getting a stage win in the Giro.
