Tappa 12 Giro d'Italia
Another stage of slogging
Through torrential rain
A stage short and flat-ish
But weather will bring pain
A finish for a mass sprint
if they're not all washed away
Should we propitiate the weather gods
For a break today?
A cold is circulating
through the peloton
On days like this you must ask
How can they go on?
With backers backing off
It's no time to go soft
Sean puts it neatly
"their morale is in their socks"
Not wishing to get into
a sympathetic grumble
I'll brew a pot of coffee
And watch the sprinters rumble
60 KM to go
Markey Mark his cheeks does blow
They're talking about editing
the final ten KM
In any case the deluge
divides the boys from men
A climb is coming soon
Montello Vittoria
Mark will have to pull it
To sprint on to gloria
A second cup of coffee
brose spiked to a T
Allows me to observe affairs
with equanimity
OPQS keeps Mark C in good place
The five man break sets a good pace
30 seconds up
With under 10 to go
Will one attack?
We don't know
They hang in 'til the final 1
They're gone
but a fine race they've run
Cavendish takes it
Stage 12 was a bitch
Bradley unable to scratch
his itch
Go to the bus, lads
Take a hot drink
Pro-racing is tougher
than you would think
