Amstel Gold Race
=
After 60 KM this April Sunday
Ten minutes ahead are the breakaway
All eyes are on Gilbert and Sagan
Pete's the fave and Phil is hopin'
to win the day for BMC
I hope his day ends happily!
After the first circuit
The Peloton knows they'll have to work it
And yet as the race is run half-way
the gap remains 11 mins for the breakaway!
Cannondale leads the controlled chase
So Peter S. can run his race
Slowly the peloton awakes
Heading towards the hardy break
FINALLY it looks like Spring
Ending Winters' suffering
Rainbow sporting Philippe G
Is racing philosophically
'Run your own race,
do what you can
Don't focus on beating Sagan'
Wise words from beloved Phil
For the world's woes
He is the pill
Philippe has crashed !
His bike is toast
Bad luck for he I
Love the most
BMC is not in sight
Leaving Phil a nasty fight
He's joined by Schleck, Andy
Joining forces feeling handy
Proving a point not oft mentioned
Necessity Mom of Invention
Philippe returns but at what cost?
Has his extra zing been lost?
Thomas Voeckler has an injury
Bad luck today for Tommy V
Cannondale continues to chase
The breakaway has less space
KMs are down to 52
But the finish is new
With a flat bit
After the Cauberg
So the fast men can be heard
Purito's down and maybe out
Caught in a crash
like an erstwhile trout
A big attack from Pieter Weening
A race breaker he is seeming
Astarloza is riding well
Leading into Cauberg hell
My dear Philippe is on the right
He seems to still have some fight
The top men are holding back
11 km left to track
Leaders leaving lots of slack
Kreuziger is showing speed
Fast enough to cause a nose bleed
Down the Cauberg like the wind
Philippe Gilbert is there to win!!!
Roman K. on fire for Saxo
His first big win -- way to go !!!
Valverde second
Gerrans three
What a lovely race to see!
