Stage 9 Tour de France 2016 Vielha Val d'Aran --Andorra Arcalis

The morning finds Alberto
Totally out of get up and go
He tried to ride through his injuries
But his race was not to be 
He gave it his best shot
A complainer he is not
I read he's gonna sign with Trek
Go home and heal Al
what the heck! 
Today's stage in the Pyrenees 
Is not to be approached with ease
Searing temps
A hilly terrain
And Sky is pulling
the peloton train
Cav was clear he hates the heat
The Pyrenean days
an anti-treat
Cold Spray is used to cool him down
Technology keeps him around
Pete bags 20 points 
then chills
De Ghent advances on the hills
KOM dreams his head fills
Cote de Beixales does him in 
The Pyrenees spell suffering
The final climb looks harrowing 
The hopes of some are narrowing
It's all or nothing on this peak
Tom Dumoulin pedals in the rain
Hailstones add to the pain
Froome and Quintana accelerate  
Martin and Porte looking great
Tom Dumoulin takes it 
Fifty points in a deluge

An Alpecin giant this win is huge!!
