in response to the request by the supreme council for propagation of message and truth (solicting suggestions for a patriotic anthem celebrating the revolution in cycling), an anonymous sympathizer submitted this stirring song: 

Youth of Racing Union (to the tune of "Men of Harlech")

Racing Union, still undaunted,
Banners to the sky are flaunted.
Daring hearts and hands are wanted,
Onward! Seek the light.

Racing Union, never yielding,
Swords of truth and courage wielding.
Name of honor ever shielding,
Battle for the right.

Tear the false asunder,
<stomp, stomp>
Trample error under,
<stomp, stomp>

Let valor fly in all the sky,
And virtue speak in thunder...

Racing Union, squad of glory,
Make her name live on in story.
Let the echoes ring back bravely:
Racing Union, fight!

the supreme council for propagation of message and truth was very moved by this ode, inspired by the very principles of the racing union which we all hold dear in our hearts.  the supreme council also liked the part where they got to stomp their feet and thought that this might also appeal to today's youth, the fruit of the union.  indeed, the racing union does rock.
