Tour de France 2014 Stage 10

Tour de France 2014 Stage 10

Today is a gnarly day in the Vosges
A day of climbing with seven peaks
Everyone has to shoulder the load
Their GC position to keep
Tinkoff is a danger team
Working for Alberto's dream
Purito and Sagan join the break
KOM points they would like to take
The weather sucks
Il pleut à verse
It's cold as well
Could it be worse?
Phil says ' these are flood conditions '
Will wet upset GC positions?
Peter S solos on the descent
Going for the intermediate sprint 
Adding 20 points to his haul
For sprints Sagan lays down the law
Alberto falls and loses time 
Astana hurries towards the line
Kwaitkowski is a big fave
It looks like Alberto is done for the race
We didn't 't get to see him crash
But his Tour flame has turned to ash
He abandoned his team
Wishing them well
We are watching a moment of cycling hell
Tony Martin and Kwaitkowski
play a game of cat and mouse-ie
Putting Astana on the defense
This is a bummer--no arguments
Team tactics usually made by committee 
Are up in the air now
This isn't pretty
Tony Martin again at the front
Rodriguez persists his KOM bump
So now Le Tour is 52 card pick-up
Der Panzerwagon refuses to stop
Tony G. may retain yellow
But Lotto B is far from mellow
One thing we've learned today
That best laid plans can go astray
No amount of training or pluck
Can keep you astride when you 
run out of luck
Tommy V loses the KOM to Purito
But there's still a lot of race to go
Astana and Nibali take the climb
It's short but steep Tony bonked
Not a fun time
His sacrifice for his young mate
Shows us Tony is truly great
Rodriguez lunges ahead of K
He thinks he can take the stage today
La Planche des Belles Filles looms ahead
Nibali thinks he can put it to bed
Nibali takes off  
Chasing Purito 
He takes the win
Astanas' hero
Andrew Talansky loses ten minutes
All you can say is that he's still in it
TJ does well 
he ends up seventh
For him a rest day is 
looking like heaven
The loss of Berto
Scars the proceedings
Le Tour could use a psychic reading
Nibali now looks the straight out star
Again wearing yellow, he will go far
Congrats to Vincenzo and Astana
Hope you get your rest mañana !
