Le Tour de France 2016 - 7. Stage 7: L'Isle Jourdain / Lac de Payolle
An historic Stage 7 start
All One Hundred Ninety-Eight riders depart
A great day in prospect
For a breakaway unchecked
Fast flat to Cat 1 climb is the course they chart
Riders advance and are brought back
Third try’s the charm for twenty-nine
The race and pace they now define
Pack back unsure how to react
Just who is up in front of them?
Those of no concern for the overall win?
Van Avermaet in yellow
Nibali, too, a fellow
Have Team Sky leading with a furious spin
Before the climb, attacks will split
The over-sized breakaway group
Perhaps Nibali can recoup
Enough time to challenge a Brit
Forget Froome in Paris for now
Today Britain’s cunning Steve Cummings knows how
First over the Col d’Aspin
(No Rio for him? A sin!)
Pyrenees stages never bore, yearly wow.
