Vuelta a España 2014 Stage 5

Astoundingly 'Berto is calling the shots

Pushing Tinkoff to strut what they've got

Raising the pace in heat so torrid

Some in the bunch saying they're horrid

In the end Degenkolb was victorious

eclipsing Philippe who's effort was glorious

Bouhanni came two and Hofland third

But it's Tinkoff's noise most loudly heard

Alberto is making a great recovery

His miracle healing up for discovery

What he'll do next is everyone's riddle

He's riding as if he were fit as a fiddle!

USA Pro Challenge Stage 5

Rain and cold plague stage five

The escape is looking likely 

The helicopters cannot fly

So we are all un-sightly

Breckenridge awaits the break

Acevedo the stage will take 

But no, await the hands of fate

With whom Laurent Didier has a date

A 30 year old from Luxembourg 

A sterling win from what we've heard

Jens Voigt is worried about gaining weight

I'm sure his fans won't mind

If after 17 years as a pro

he leaves his form behind

A super man amongst the pack

We 're sad that he 's not coming back

Well read and highly reflective 

He wants his end date self selective

Auf Wiedersehen Herr Jens V

You've made cycling history

TeJay rode hard and took some time

As the pack implodes on the climb

Rain and cold take their toll

But Trek and Didier make their goal

Tejay looks chill as local lad

Yellow suits him not half bad 

For a record time trial eyes has he

He's poised for GC victory

USA Pro Challenge Stage 3

BMC leader Tejay Van G

Takes Pro Challenge Stage Three

After yesterdays' neutralization

this ride seemed like a summer vacation

Rafal Majka--the sprightly Pol

shows he's more than Tinkoff's troll

Tvetcov came three for Jelly Bell

Ben Hermans, a Belge, also did well

But the race belonged to Aspen's Tejay

At Monarch crowned King for a Day

We'll see more from him as the days roll 

Overall race win is his goal

Cannondale and Garmin Sharp 

Are headed for the altar

What a powerhouse they

A  Rock of Gibralter
