Stages Four and Five - Emotional

Stage Four. Team Crustacean are labouring up Menglers Hill near Tanunda. Decca is finding it hard to keep going.

Decca: Is there anything to eat?

Karko: Here, have a Power Bar. How's Starpuss?

Decca: Right now I don't give a toss.

Ageless: That's no way to talk. She might hear you.

Decca: You reckon?

Karko: You're the one who brought her!

Decca: Yeah, but...she's a friggin' dead weight.

Ageless: She'll be good on the downhill run.

Decca: How come I'm the one who has to pull her?

Karko: You always were!

Decca: Bull!

Ageless: That's enough of that sort of talk! Shut up and pedal!

At this point Team Crustacean is passed by Oscar Freire, of team Katusha, who wins the Stage. Well done him.

......

Stage Five. McLaren Vale to Willunga. If Team Crustacean don't win today, they are stuffed. They have high hopes, however.

Ageless: Now Decca, when we get to the top of the Hill, I want you to accidentally let Starpuss go.

Decca: What?

Karko: Brilliant plan. She's registered as a rider after all. If she gets to the finish first, we win the stage!
.......

Sweezus and Surfing-With-Whales are right behind them. They overhear Team Crustacean's cunning plan.

Sweezus: The knobheads! They think the race finishes at the bottom.

Surfing-With-Whales: So do I.

Swezus: Well it doesn't, it finishes at the top.

Surfing-With-Whales: This never happens in surfing.

Sweezus: Shut up and pedal!

Just then they are passed by Alejandro Valverde, from Team Movistar, who wins the Stage in an emotional finish. Well done him.
