Today the climb of Mont Ventoux
makes veterans and neophytes
tremble in their boots collective
A brutish climb from base to tip
All tremble at the sight of it
A terrible objective
Of anguish non-selective
Inspiring extreme invective
of fear and loathing reflective
Mont Ventoux Provenc-ial Beast
Just tap away and grit your teeth
The first three hours of the race
have been run at a ripping pace
of thirty miles P H
Where peloton its' fate will face
on rocky crags which give no grace
Thirteen hard miles the will erase
for cowardice there is no place
Mont Ventoux--the cyclists' grail
Each one prays that he won't fail
A high profile breakaway
Would like to win this Bastille Day
Including Roy and Chavanel
A Gallic victory would be swell
Spoil the lad and spare the rod
In territoire of Marquis de Sade
MoviStar has lead the charge
Hopes Quintana will live large
21 KM of straight up pain
The victors will have earned their fame
On Green Pete S keeps his grip
With this sprint he may have clinched it
Anticipation makes me weak
Empathy from a non-athelete
In a plot line straight from
Marquis de Sade
This is the Charge of the Light Brigade
Sky leads the pack
Will Contador attack?
Valverde is alive
Schleck has imploded
Bakelants survives
Quintana exploded with 7 miles to climb
He'd like to take 5 mins of time
Sky sneaks a meal in the final ten
There will be fines for them
Kennaugh cracks after giving his all
The harder they climb
The further they fall
Quintana moves like an Aztec eagle
Richie Porte plays a role regal
Protecting rule of king Froome
Chris is free! He starts to zoom
Alberto cracked
Quint has yellow at his back!
It's Nairo and Chris amazingly
Dueling up the grade
This is the sort of moment
Where history is made
Chris dominates
Mont Ventoux
A textbook ride
Respect to you!!!
Sky's hand is shown
The penny dropped
Chris Froome is
the man on top!
