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.
