Stage 3 Amgen Tour 2016

Stage 3 Amgen Tour 2015


The Peloton lallygags 
through the feed zone 
Ventura’s a town cute
Next to the lunch route
A place you might like to roam
Just a bit south of Santa Barb
For us Central Coasters
It’s our back yard!
Heading for Gibraltar 
A mighty peak
Cannon works for Craddock and King
A summit finish is what they seek
They hope Craddock will not falter
Or Ben could take it—as an alter
Again no one bets on the breakaway
Will the gods of surprise rule the day?
Yesterday management announced a sprint
But Ben made mincemeat of their testament
Just when I fear all ’s rote on the road
A special rider will explode
Such a stage was yesterday
When “fu*k you” was heard from the breakaway
All talking heads were nonplussed 
Their group surprise was worth the fuss
Seven miles up Gibraltar Road
Which team can carry the load?
 I was secretly betting on Coquard
He crashes out—a fallen star
Greg Daniel dewy 21
leads up a grade which can’t be fun
Peter is dropped as is Ben
Glory is fleeting
Now and Then
Cycling IQ?
Christian—oh, poo!
Show me a rider with heart
Neilson Powless
 A. Merchx’s best
Seems to be playing this part
19 years old
Fearless and bold
A shooting star from the start!
Stetina and Morton catch him at last
But they had to peddle really fast
Alaphilippe sprints up
And dashes past
Stetina gets two
after injury grave
an amazing performance
that he gave!!!
The stage goes to Alaphilippe
But the pic of Powess
I will keep.
