Majka: “Now I have the legs and the motivation”

Rafal Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe), stage winner: “I feel great, really. I don't have problems like in the Tour, where I crashed. I came here for the GC and I got sick. I almost went home. I'm so happy. Not because I win, but for my teammates. They did a very good job. The team trusted in me and I'm happy to get the win today. I was pretty confident. I have really good legs and actually my teammate Patrick Konrad has done a great job for me. When I saw (Rui) Costa suffering, I went in the first position. I needed to go 10 km full gas, as a time trial. Now, I am so happy, but this is very long. Everybody knows how hard the last week of La Vuelta is. Now I know I have the legs and the motivation. I will try for another one.”
