Today's race is the 50th edition
Crowds line up to witness this tradition
My guy Phil, that's Philippe G
Won last year for BMC
He and teammate Sammy Sanchez
Are both in form and like their chances!
At 3 hours in things look fast but controlled--
Valverde and Schleck are both feeling bold
Dan and Tony Martin both present
Kwaitkowski makes his argument
So many strong riders
Too numerous to mention
But be sure that Phil
has my full attention
A pinch point arises at 40 KM
The hills bitter pills for tired men
Tony Martin breaks out
Nibali beside
He's so calm and collected
He'll hit the Keitenberg in stride
Tony and Nibali still intact
MoviStar lunges but doesn't commit
I think 'controlled chaos'would cover it
Cauberg 3 Tony Martin relaxed
BMC lowers the ax
Simon Clarke hangs in with Nibali
But there's Philippe with BMC
Cauberg 4 with 4 K remaining
At this point those legs should be paining
Philippe explodes but Kwaitkowski takes first
A nice Etixx champ! It could have been worse!!!
