Everyone looks pretty
as they near Paris city
after three weeks of war
The mood is fine
they've lots of time
to toast and bask in gloire
Of course the sprint is everything
on this Sunday ride
I say "chapeau" to all the lads
they should be filled with pride!
Every stage produced real thrills
Descending danger gave us chills
Relatively carnage free
Ventoux will live in history
"Forward ever Backward never"
Champs just never quit
For sheer persistence
Sky's Chris Froome is it
Movistar and Quintana
finished rather high
They went to every length
to support their guy
Majka and Pete for Tinkoff
showed they've got the right stuff
Adam Yates graduates to be a contender
Purito did a solid Tour
in this his career ender
Romain Bardet the Frenchman for AG2R
ends up on the podium
A Gallic superstar
This is my sixth Tour
blogging the race in rhyme
Every year a learning curve
Better every time
I feel a little teary
as this chapter ends
I hope I have the happy task
Of doing this again
Kittel has bike problems
Tony Martin leaves
He is having issues
with his famous knees
Etixx-Quick
must feel sick
Their fortunes took a downward click
Teklehaimanot excelled throughout
I wanted to give him a shout
And all others whom I failed to mention
You have had my full attention
I still have hopes for B. Coquard
Coquard flats
That's that about that
Andre Greipel wins it!
Sky and Chris maintain
About the 2016 tour
I've nothing to complain
