It 's a high noon explosion
gutter to gutter and all together
The group is enjoying perfect weather
Unlike their brothers in Italy
Where heavy rains spelled misery
A six man break escapes and sticks
No GC men in the mix
Will Routely takes KOM points four
His climbing skills we can't ignore
This time I am here in the flesh
To blog the race from the finish
In truth it was just yesterday
When I demeaned the breakaway
Saying it was for team awareness
I was so wrong
In all fairness
Especially team UHP
They got more than publicity
Chris Jones got most courageous
Jonny Clark wears dots--outrageous!
He also finished number 4
Matt Cooke came in one number more
The break today was all that happened
All sprinters teams were caught nappin'
Especially OPQS
Cav was livid
Is my guess
Instead the break worked like a team
All the way to a win clean
for Will Routely man of the hour
In each stage breakaway he powered
For Optum-Kelly he excelled
Defending well his KOM
Taking the stage like a bat from hell
The peloton waited too long to catch the break
For Cannondale and BMC this must be hard to take
Sir Bradley's still in yellow
I saw him with mine eyes
So scratch that off my bucket list
If tomorrow I should die
I so enjoyed watching the race
In a crowd of fans
Record heat for Cambria
But I made my stand
The commentators were flipped out
By the successful break
I was there for history
Much to contemplate
