Good summary of doom
no doubt
but Gesink and Hesjedal loom
behind a cloud

Wiggins and Evans are the creme’
for sure
but Tour is long and things happen
without a cure

Time trials will be the key
roulers´ wrath
unless there´s some wild spree
in the Circle of Death

Cadel, sulking? Surely you jest. Lest you want most of the population of Australia as enemies! Though I’d be happy to see Menchov and Ryder do well too.

Pity the poor Americans
Feel sorry for the French
The British should be afraid, very afraid
The Spaniards and Italians nowhere will be found
when a Canadian Ryder puts the metal down

If you look.
Carefully.
At the course of Le Tour,
And squint,
It looks a bit like a donut.
The sort your daughter might draw
If she is small.
Funny then that Le Tour
and the Utah Tour De Donut
Coincide.
Since I am unable to ride in either event
I will go out on my bike
Early on 7 July
So that I can sit down afterwards
And watch Brad ride Tomblaine / La Planche des Belles Filles.
I will wear my Team Fatty jersey
And eat a donut.
Or two
To honour my friends in Utah.

Thank you

I know he has no chance to win
Don’t forget my boyfriend
Fabian.
The eye candy of cycling.

The Brits will wonder why you overlooked ” King Cav ” and those down under would wish for ” Greenedge ” !
Months ago i stuck my neck out and predicted the TDF podium would be filled with other than favourites , so Gossy for Green & Gerrans for Jaune !
Horny is going to leave a ” snickers ” trail all the way to the podium !

I met the young lad once,
one Peter Sagan
and I thought to myself
GOOD LORD THAT BOY IS SKINNY

I will root for
Levi Leipheimer
when in public
for fear of throat punches

I think the Aussie
who I prefer to call
CUDDLES
will win again

How does one go
creating a Tour de Donut?
I would like one here in SoCal.

And finally, the name we were all hoping Fatty would mention, for he is clearly the best at hitting beast mode:

JENS VOIGT.

thank you.

The Tour de France, I’d like to watch
From my hotel room with my wife,
It’s our anniversary, and we’re in St. Louis
Alas, I’ll miss the time trial
And the #ridestreak that I’d like to do
Will start on the reclining stationary
Here in the Westin Spa area
