Pre-Race both Wiggo and Sagan
Sought to avoid the press
Sagan was caught by the pack
Bradly showed more finesse
Kristoff, by contrast,
Had a lot to say
About his recent victories
And hopes for Paris-Roubaix
Degenkolb also has high hopes
He showed his strength at Milan-San Remo
The pace of the race is high
Thanks to Etixx and Sky
A nine man break goes towards Le Foret--
Tailwinds also come into play
Peloton rides at 27 miles per
Out of the race is Stijn Devolder
Section 19 Haveluy
Four stars it fills no one with glee
A battle ensues to lead into the trees
Peter Sagan is by no means at ease
Geraint Thomas struggles to the fore
The Forest opens its' dreaded door
The break intact enters first
The forest built by Napoleon the First
Peter S has worked his way up
Determined to drink from the winners’ cup
BMC mans up for Greg Van A
55 more miles to race today
A train stops the pack
The break makes it through
Another odd moment in Paris-Rou
Geraint T crashes but regains his bike
Fighting for Wiggins with all his might
50 KM to go
Andre Griepel raises the stakes
Geraint pays in pain for his mistakes
The race becomes a war of attrition
With everyone scurrying for position
Etixx Quick Step is on the front
Pete Sagan continues to hump
John Degenkolb responds to speed
Wiggins and Kristoff energy bleed
Terpstra, Stybar, Vandenberg
Have not been mentioned
But they've been heard
Ditto Boom
Fighting for room
But Etixx continues control
Riders choose the grass
Risking their ass
As this is how they roll
Mons-en-Pavele a five star nightmare
Cross/head winds cause some to take care
Now tactics start to be dispersed
Vandenbergh takes off--his move well rehearsed
25 miles to go the canny Belge
Hopes he can ring winning bells
But Wiggins puts pedal to the floor
A champion move--who could ask for more?
It does not work
The break refuses to crumble
It's enough to make you humble
Felled finally by an elite group
Their party took forever to poop
Winds so strong the flags fly straight
Lots of things to contemplate
The fast men bother one another
Ten miles to go, no one's your brother
Wiggs and Pete Sagan hold back
In the chase for Van Avermaet
John Degenkolb makes a move
It's his race right now to lose
Terpstra lurks for Etixx Quick
Sagan flats--he must feel sick!
Stybar and Boom take off
The rest of the group is feeling loss
Brad this time will not be Boss
It's all together at Velodome
But Degenkolb wins--a great achievement
He had every reason for press corps appeasement!
Stybar two Van Avermaet third
But Degenkolb is true to his word
