Tappa 6 Giro d'Italia 2013
Today is for the sprinters
Flat as a cyclists' bum
in Margherita di Saviola
The fast mens' race is won
All eyes are on Mark Cavendish
speed god from the Isle of Man
With OPQS toiling for him
He's working on his tan
Markey battled mightily
on yesterdays' big climb
OPQS is determined
To lead him to the line
The first two sprints go by him
Is he not feeling top notch?
Wurf then Viviani
take the top spots
Here is an occasion
where hubris plays a role
Is being fastest enough
to achieve his goal?
Each sprinter in il gruppo
is nursing a scenario
where Cav is somehow held in check
a mechanical or messy wreck
gives them a chance to earn respect
A long-shot, true, but what the heck!
Flat stages in the Giro
Are few and far between
Manx Man means to win it
with or without his team
Of course this is pro cycling
where anything can happen
Which is why it would be well
if no one were caught nappin'
After yesterdays' deluge
The chance of a big chill is huge
Taylor Phinney has a fever
He's still in--a true believer
Having taken a 'natural break'
including washing up my face
OPQS is on the case
Keeping up a lively pace
Now remaining 50 K
A short pause to get dressed, nah seh?
A couple of crashes muddy the field
Wiggins is caught up nothing will yield
Sky uses its' power to close that gap
Bradley not ready to throw in his cap
Recovering he moves towards the head
To the GC born and bred
Cannondale leads
Viviani speeds
Vacance Soleil leaps too
Marks' set up well
He wins -meno male-
OPQS team comes through
I'm relieved for them, aren't you
