Stage 19 Tour de France 2016 Albertville-- Saint-Gervais

A short but intense stage
with lots of climbing 
For podium spots so many pining
Both start and end are vicious
promising points and place delicious
A break of twenty 
power plenty
De Ghent leaps ahead with purpose
Majka's there to make things worse
Astana pops up for Aru
a vision of stage win in view
Trying Team Sky's grip
to soften
on mountain climbs both steep and often
A short stage threatens the grupetto
Time limits force heads down and go
The Montee de Bisanne
today's big peak
will show good outcomes don't come cheap 
Ditto several descents hairy
Even Chris Froome is wary
Tom Demoulin comes a cropper
Abandoning this season topper
Majka earns the KOM
It starts to rain on tired men
The roads are slick
Rolland goes down
Others as well
Chris Froome falls in descent hell
Gerraint gives Chris his bike 
Bardet takes this chance 
to fight
Raising hopes for La Belle France
On his bike he seems to dance
He wins the stage with Gallic flair
He throws his hands up in the air
Climbing on Gerraint’s bike
Chris’ll probably be sore tonight
