The sky turned dark and stormy , onwards the riders had to go.

The were cradled by the awesome Alps as winds began to blow .

Clinging to the handlebars and bringing the yellow shirt home .

It was raining and the Tour De France was like a battle zone.

As the riders spilt like ten pins across the treacherous road.

Suddenly heading for town the leaders began to explode .

Neck and neck went a threesome who put on a blistering pace .

Home came the leaders Jersey but not many finished the race.

Tonight will be a stormy night so put your bikes away .

The Tour De France is over and tomorrows

another day.
