TAPPA 7 Giro d'Italia 2013
Pim Ligthart crashes
Elbow smashes
But gets back in the break
Tonight that's gonna ache
A hilly terrain
Will bring on the pain
The weather is iffy
The surfaces slippery
Trying for body and brain
Luca Paolini wants to be Pink
for one more day
He's on the brink
Danilo di Lucca
For Vini-Fantini
fronts il groppo
Will he be todays' genie?
The first of four climbs
which owns a category
doesn't really tell the story
Today is hill after hill
Climbers need all their will
Non-climbers taste a bitter pill
Not a stage where one can chill
Seans' imagery is that of war
Of mountains they're so many more
The sprinters fade
including Mark
incline is just too stark
Leading to Pietragrossa
All to win the Maglia Rosa!
Sella shows us how it's done
His lack of weight makes it more fun
Takes points for the Chieti mount
Hoping that his efforts count
35 KM of tough hills
A contest of pure will
Sella takes a big spill
He's up but it's scary still
Rain slicked roads
Raise the risk
Taborre looks to benefit
Adam Hanson presses on
A stage win is his sirens' song
A wet descent and one more hill
More a drag and less a thrill
San Silvestro still to go
Easy lactate legs to blow
Short, sharp, shock!
Sean likes it--not!!!
Niboli falls skidding--yikes!
He jumps right back on his bike
The road is like a skating rink
Disaster can hit in a blink
Hansen descends gingerly
Sella falls so does Brad
Road conditions really bad
For me the last KMs three
Are filled with high anxiety
The stage is won by Hansen, A
Victor on a rainy day
Brad loses more than a minute
Wonder if he's still well in it ?
Tomorrow's time trials will reveal
who has got a chance for real
