Le Tour de France 2016 - 10. Stage 10: Escaldes-Engordany / Revel

Day 10 began with a Cat 1 climb

Shown neither on TV nor online

In the U.S.A.

Coverage commenced when roads were flat

Pyrenes Mountains at their backs

For another year.

Crumbling castles and cathedrals

Sites both modern and medieval

Were seen on the course.

Riding at a Tourist pace

Bothering not to make haste

Peloton’s at rest.

Cloudy skies and camera lens

Occasional head and crosswinds

To Point B from A.

Recovered riders out in front

Sagan again in the hunt

Stage and green jersey

Team Orica-BikeExchange

sent three strong riders down range

Looking for a win

Four miles from Town Revel

They attack on the uphill

Sagan gamely responds

The Orica strategy

Bests Sagan’s tenacity

Orica’s Matthews wins
