Tour de France 2014 Stage 8


Tour de France 2014 Stage 8

After a week best described as a brute
Stage 8 starts out with a relaxed group
Saving their legs with a lazy pace
A moment of respite in a crazy race
The break has ten minutes
no one seems distressed 
It's the last 30 KMs where they must  impress
Astana is first in the peloton 
Where no one feels like speeding along
Getting the message is NBC
This stage hasn't made it to TV
Sean Kelly is brilliant at filling dead air
Informed gibberish delivered with flair
A cloud burst descends on the break
Another derrière ache to navigate
Kadri looks good on the steep climb
The bell of French hopes begins to chime
Chapeau to the French!!!
Finally a stage win
Their cup of joie is filled to the brim
Ag2r-La Mondiale
Toff your cap and take a bow!
