Crosswinds and Ingenuity
Split the pack
Apparently
Kittel in the latter group
Finds his smile begin to droop
OPQS spotted an opp
To keep their guy on top
They tacked smartly towards the wind
Using brains to help them win
A bold move echelons created
OPQS must not be underrated
Now their will is concentrated
On keeping Cav
In the running
Argos-Shimano must be bumming
Phil puts it down to inattention
Also, necessity, I would mention
I guess everyone is aware
Of which way the wind is blowing
But how to turn that to a plan
Is something well worth knowing
Will echelon two close the gap?
Valverde flats and struggles back
Never regained the leading pack
Saxo-Tinkoff grabs the slack
Alberto perks up and leads
Belkin shows surprising speed
Sagan and Cav remain in front
They are gonna have to thump
Saxo speeds in a muscular manner
Carrying Albertos' banner
Valverde's race is deflated
Froome's position complicated
Chris struggles in a box
Sky just can't pull up their socks
Crumbling under heavy tolls
Towards the finish
Marky rolls
To road victory two-five
Our golden lad is still alive
Marky rebounds from diva rumbles
For this win he's truly humble
Doubtless Peta read the riot act
In any case, we're glad Mark's back
Chris loses a minute nine
Much for Sky to bear in mind
