Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall lead, and again gained time by finishing second on Saturday.
The 177-kilometer (110-mile) roller-coaster covered two infamous climbs, including the 2,360-meter (7,742-foot) Izoard pass, and a finish up to the Risoul ski station.
Majka led a breakaway on the final climb. His victory gave a first stage win to his Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team. – PA
