2015 Tour de France Stage 17




A super aggressive start to the stage
TeJay is off the back
And Froome fights off attack after attack
Chris calls time out to try to chill
A relentless pace from the first hill
No one knows what happened to TeJay
His nemesis is the stage after rest day
The
 peloton moves like there’s no tomorrow
But the uphill finish may bring some to sorrow
Peter Sagan is feeling his oats
60 riders out the back diminish their hopes
Quintana is in a mood to fight
Van Gardener is sick 
his race comes to blight
28 leaders ahead of the maillot jeune
TeJay Van G continues in gloom
The break has star power
Porte and Roche lead Sky
also there Degenkolb and Andrew Talansky
Sagan can’t control his exuberant ways
He looks locked in his gear— accelerate!
 Col de la Colle St. Michel
11 KM of Alpine hell
Especially if you’re not feeling well
On TeJay’s troubles I will not dwell
Jens says he’s unlucky
You can say that again
A headache bedevils 
He’s in his own world of pain
But the peloton he regains
The race is half over
The hard part begins
Everyone digs at Froome
A man marked for his wins
Contador attacks taking his chance
Raising the pace with his merry dance
Valverde follows pressuring Sky
Ganging up tactics are worth a try
The race is over for TeJay
We still don’t know what happened today
Team Sky will have battles to chose
So many attack with nothing to lose
Sang froid Sky exhibits in tar melting heat
The descent of Col de Allos will cull the elite
A deja vu for Romain Bardet?
He attacked for the win in the Dauphiné
Under forty miles to Pra-Loup
I’m very excited
How about you?
The break will not collaborate
FDJ takes maximum points
John D and Sagan have noses out of joint
Pinot pulls in front of Talansky
Geschke leads the break
Kwaitkowski abandons
The storm clouds threaten
Pinot agitates
Nibali threatens just like the storm
Attack the descent if he’s in form?
Froome and Thomas are still in for Sky
Pinot goes down—unfortunate guy
Nibali goes followed by Chris
Contador crashes
Sagan stops to help him
Grechke says “yes”
followed by Talansky
but Grechke will win
on a steep climb 
Talansky comes two
with a very good time
Chris survives with aplomb
You must admit
He is the bomb
