Vuelta Stage Abandoned Due to Hail

A massive hailstorm in the French Pyrenees forced organizers to abandon the third stage of the Vuelta a España on Monday. With just 15km (9.32 miles) remaining of the 174km ride from Gruissan to Font-Romeu, riders were forced to take cover as huge hailstones pelted them while climbing the Col de Mont-Louis.

Riders were seen heading into hotels along the route to escape the severe weather conditions. The abandonment occurred during the most challenging part of the stage as the peloton was tackling the mountain pass. fish-roadgame.com
