The final stage is up for grabs
The route is filled with tired lads
Attacking attacking the maillot jeune
anxiety-making for Sky’s Chris Froome
He has a good lead, but it’s not unassailable
Quintana is there to take all that’s available
A climb quite worrying Col de la Croix de Fer
From any side it’s high up in the air
But all the best climbers will be scurrying
Straight from the gun there’s reason for hurrying
Quintana puts Froome on the defensive
Nibali feels his oats, never mind how offensive
The question is really— How strong is Sky?
They’ll have a job of work to protect their guy
Quintana says he’ll attack early on
He feels that in yellow is where he belongs
The stage is short but highly contested
Alpe d’Huez a real bear for riders not rested
And let’s no forget the crowds at the peak
They’ve been up there partying most of the week
The Sky boys look jaunty at the front
Their job is to stay there lump after lump
Rafal Mjka has eyes for this stage
The wily Pole is poised for his age
Movistar attacks! That’s Valverde
Still out in front is Geniez
As they begin up the Alpe d’Huez
Quintana attacks again and again
Hesjedal and Pinot keep on keeping on
Valverde attacks leading Quintana
In the break Winner Anaconda
Another Columbian to help Quintana
Thibaut Pinot wins the stage!
A French rider for FDJ
But Nairo Q. comes of age!
He comes two Hesjedal three
Froome earns Yellow, but not easily
Kudos to Sky also Movistar
The Alpe d’Huez not a hill too far
