In the rolling hills of
Northwest France
Andre G performs his prance
Takes the sprint intermede
Making a great show of speed
Pete and Cav pick up points, too
Under kite flying skies of blue
The wind picks up at 60 K
Complicating things today
A race for the sprinters
The last 'til Paris
Lotto and Quick Step OP
Hold the front of the Peloton
Hoping their lads can get it on
Compared to stage 9
Today is a cakewalk
But Westra causes a bit of talk
Sensing weakness in the breakaway
It seems he'd like to spoil the day
For several super hungry sprinters
As winds tear the bunch to splinters
The lightweight lads who climb like goats
May wish for heavy overcoats
Or Velcro to keep them on their bikes
As crosswinds create a new fight
Sky must defend their man in yellow
A nervous day for Team Sky fellows
Everyone wants a place at the front
As coastal winds begin to taunt
Andre and Kittel are tapping big gears
Trying to counter crosswind fears
Lotto fancies an ape with wings
Wearing the jersey which winning brings
At 23 K the group turns a gauche
Which teams' dreams will blow to toast?
Battered on the Emerald coast
Break earns the right to boast
A collective Don Quixote
Brave lads all
( and you can quote me)
Kittel takes it by a whisker
Argos-Shimano's winning risker
He sprints to take a stage times two
With such results you can't argue
Cav takes three
and cheekily
stares down a reporter
Come now, bwoy
it's nice to win
but in losing well don't falter
