Le Tour de France 2016 - 12. Stage 12: Montpellier / Mont Ventoux

It's all fun and games

Until someone loses an eye

So the saying goes

 

Stage 12, Bastille Day, 191 riders start

A long, flat run up to a mountain high

It's all fun and games

 

Winds still plague, one must ride smart

Good odds on a breakaway, if they fly

So the saying goes

 

A typical stage, little to impart

Until Mont Ventoux is nigh

It's all fun and games

 

Fans want to take part; onto the road they dart

"Allez!" was the cry, but no bikes could get by

So the saying goes

 

Ride, Race, Climb, Compete with heart

On a crowd trashed crashed road where dreams die

It's all fun and games

So the saying goes

This one left me unsatisfied given the events of the day, not just on this Tour stage but throughout France.
