Tour de France 2014 Stage 14



A ripping start to stage 14
Sagan takes the sprint clean
part of a break of seventeen
Astana leads bunch lean and mean
The long hard climb of the Lautaret
Is not the worst they'll do today
The Col d'Iozard beyond category 
is the peak which brings the glory
Also a hefty prize in euros
for the man who can endure-oh!
In the break De Marchi, Allesandro
showing lots of get-up-and-go
Best placed in the break is Geraint, T.
But he's no threat to the GC
I want to mention Nibali, V
who quipped quite humorously
the mother of the imbecile is always pregnant'
 (latter day dopers is whom he meant)
Who knew Vincenzo was so witty
this Yellow clad son of Sicily?
In Italian it sounds even better
"La madre degli imbecili/cretini/stronzi e sempre incinta"
Purito takes KOM points on Lautaret
Not contesting is De Marchi, A
Astana descends like a flock of blue birds
Hoping to swoop over Col d'Iozard
A peak elite for those who race hard
Whose Tour hopes will it retard?
Nibali's' team remains on guard
Net Ap strains for Konig, L
Another who is climbing well
Col d'Iozard of unrelenting grade
An Alp where riders' reps are made
27.7 miles of climbing hell
KOM points and cash go to Purito
Joquim Rodriguez--Chapeau!
Ditto descender Fuglsang , J
He 's lived to ride another day
A cheeky attack by R Bardet--
An anxious moment for TeJay
A lot of work remains today
Risoul awaits "Allez" "Allez"!!
An 8 mile climb until the top
Romain Bardet can not be stopped
De Marchi rides with urgency
Majka R continues to flee
A stage is a possibility
An outrageous ride for Tinkoff Sax
Nibali makes a huge attack!
He looks quite  calm and collected
Majka wins-- so unexpected!!!
Nibali's two extends his lead
The next three spots held by the French
For future Tours a consequence
A stage of super strong results
Frank Schleck should do some somersaults 
TeJay rode well once more
Podium Paris an open door  
For Majka a great victory
And a very good day for Nibali
