Working for Others
On the penultimate climb of the day it was the duty of the super domestiques to drive the pace for their team leaders. Rafal Majka (Tinkoff Saxo) was doing the work for his team leader, Alberto Contador. Michal Kwiatkoski (Etixx Quickstep) even though he is the current World Road Racing Champion, was riding hard in hopes of getting his teammate, Tony Martin, into the Maillot Jaune. I am amused that both of the riders leading the entire peloton up the Core de Cherave are Polish. Tucked in behind the domestiques are Contador, Chris Froome (Team Sky) and Tejay van Garderen (BMC).
