Vuelta Stage Abandoned Due to Hailstorm

A torrential hailstorm in the French Pyrenees forced organizers to abandon stage three of the Vuelta a España on Monday.

With 15km remaining of the 174km ride from Gruissan to Font-Romeu, the peloton was scaling the Col de Mont-Louis when huge hailstones began pelting riders. Organizers quickly made the decision to stop the race as conditions deteriorated. fish-roadgame.online
