Stage 3 Tour de France 2016


Alberto soldiers on
Bandage on his arm
Hope he comes to 
no more harm
Time to heal 
his magic charm
Sagan leads the race
With a smile on his face
He sets a heady pace
A prince of Time and Space
A knight of style and grace
And yet he says "disgrace"
The bunch's mind displaced
In his career of six years
He says reason's in arrears 
Riding like mad dogs
Discourteous road hogs
Chides Slovak's golden child
Please, comrades, be less wild
Don't take crazy risks 
Cycling should not be like this
"I want to ride my bike for fun"
He derides the peloton
I take Pete at his word
And I hope his words are heard
As champ he's immune--not
To a fan's fashion shot--
"Hair like a Danish princess"
Oh, snap!  Pete shows finesse
Stage 3 pace is slow
Why I do not know
Perhaps the bunch reaction
To Pete's dissatisfaction?
A sprint will end this day
Will Pete have more to say?
Tommy V goes to the head
Instead of back to bed
The glacial pace his friend
Can he make it to the end?
Kittel gets the sprint 
With no argument
The race so far a snoozer
My early walk the loser
Roundabouts totally scary 
A right hander ahead
It could get hairy
A photo fin for Mark
A man with great heart
And now it's my moment to part!
