Vuelta Stage 16
Cataldo and De Gendt
show what is meant
to be doggedly persistent
They took this steep stage
Showing great courage
On an unrelenting gradient
The big three then follow
Froome's hopes turning fallow
A flame who has burned all his tallow
Talansky rides well
As does D. Moreno
Gesink does all the mountain allows
A brutal climb
A stage for all time
The GC top ten sitting pretty
But for all these guys
Such a brutal ride
Fills my heart with pity
It makes me think of the Circus at Rome
To watch these gladiators struggle home
Tomorrow is a day of recline
All riders mulling over their time
Take heart, all lads, it's not just being kind
You've achieved stardom just crossing the line!
A brutal stage by any measure
May your pain be matched by pleasure
