Majka claims second TdF stage win

Rafal Majka has won his second stage of this year's Tour de France by clinching stage 16 from Saint-Gaudens to Saint-Lary Pla d'Adet.

The Team Tinkoff-Saxo rider looked assured on the four climbs during the 124.5km race before holding off challenges from Movistar's Giovanni Visconti and Astana's Vincenzo Nibali.

Nibali's third-place finish has seen the Italian extend his overall lead to 5:28.

Jean-Christophe Peraud of Ag2r-La Mondiale secured fourth spot, while Cannondale's Alessandro De Marchi ended the stage in fifth position, 49s behind Majka.
