Liege-Bastone-Liege 2013




Liege-Bastone-Liege



We have to thank
Saxo Bank
For setting a pace
Animating the race
Also Astana
Second banana
With 65 K to trace
But when Ks shrink to 25
BMC comes alive
Gilbert plus five
Heads towards the front
Also Garmins' Dan Martin
Contador spurts
Ouch, that must hurt!
Rolland makes a stab
Also Ryder Hesjedal
Ryder's  on fire
Has he gone too soon?
Will the last hill spell his doom?
He hugs his bike
Loving the fight
He seems to be taking flight
Canadian cojones
He's out there alone
With 10 KM to go
Can he do it?
We'll soon know
It's the final climb
Gilbert takes a turn
Valverde stays firm
Ditto Daniel Martin
Scarponi is there
Rodriguez four square
Rodriguez attacks
Dan Martin smacks
Makes eye contact
Then, race he racks
Team Garmin-Sharp
Well played their part
Their Son of Eire
Was on fire
But cheers to the
Top ten men!
To Spring Classics I say 'amen'
So happy to see them again
So happy to see them again
