Reading the VeloNews play by play they were having some sort of haiku contest. I enjoyed them, so here they are... I think the first one is the best, displaying the most haiku quality.
Summer rain falling.
Tires grind seeking friction.
Steel and flesh tangle.
Phonak Tires Flatting
Italian Sprinters Quit
Stage Six Still Goes On.
--Mike Kruger
opening stages,
Phonak's curious quandry:
flat flat flat flat flat
____ --Scott A. Gordon
Postal confident
Allows young man to escape
Voeckler could surprise
France so far away
Updates scroll as riders race
Has there been a crash_

These about Bradley McGee...
Racing can be tough
With crashes, rain, cobble stones,
flats, and potting plants.
_______________ --Luke Ward
Bright sun, fresh dug earth
Sudden spasm drops him
Damn plants! Curse them all!
____________ --Rebecca in Canada
