Amgen Tour 2015 Stage 8

It was a photo finish
Which I did not see
Sagan won the overall

Amgen Tour 2015 Stage 7



A very difficult finish
On Mt Baldy's fog swept pate
Is the holy grail 
For an aggressive break
Daniel Oss is present
As he's been all week
Today's stage is mountainous
And not one for the meek
Sky hopes Sergio Hanao
can climb his way to top of po
Robert Gesink has high hopes
Lotto-Jumbo knows the ropes
Pete Sagan would like to win
And you can not discount him
A less than four miles to the climb
Team Sky is setting the time
Up! Up! Up! 
Many fall out the back
Followed by Alaphilippe Sergio attacks! 
Alaphilippe gets ahead—no one expected
The young rider from France must be respected 
I KM to the peak
A trial for Alaphilippe 
Sagan soldiers on limiting his loss
He digs deep on the peak 
and shows why he’s the Boss
But Alaphilippe France’s jewel
Takes a stage of climbing cruel
Chapeau! ALPHAphilippe
Now one of the elite
Sagan could still win the race
His guts today not commonplace
He gave it all he had and more
Tomorrow’s stage an open door!

Amgen Tour 2015 Stage 5



The Hincapie boys are in town
Their lads in front are found
Respect to the bosses
Respect to the Yellow
22 miles and all is mellow
A breakaway of three
teases Team Hincapie
Also Etixx and Saxo-Tink?
They ask George H. “What do you think?”
'I’m here early, we’re all aglow
Our lads are putting on a show'
He wants to help if he can
Hincapie is a happy man
He and, of course, Jens Voigt
Retired with next moves adroit
The spotlight neither has to relinquish
Both irrepressible, hard to extinguish
Ditto the break ‘tho it’s a sprint finish
Hard rain falls-we totally need it
Latvian’s love rain—Tom almost bleeds it!
The fight is on to see who leads it
1KM Sagan is snug
But Mark takes it cold and earns a hug!!!
Win times three for wily Mark C
But worth the trip for George Hincapie

Amgen Tour 2015 Stage 3


Hincapie's Latvian youth 
Tom Skujins by name
Wins big and Pete comes second



Amgen Tour 2015 Stage 4


Peter takes the stage
He's finally up to speed
Tinkoff, sir, back off!

Walking in the winds
I missed Mark’s second stage win
Again Pete took two

A text book Etixx lead out
Gives Mark his third win
