Vuelta Stage Abandoned Due to Giant Hail

The third stage of the Vuelta a España was abandoned Monday after a massive hailstorm hit riders in the French Pyrenees with 15km remaining.

The 174km route from Gruissan to Font-Romeu was cut short as huge hailstones began bouncing off the tarmac and pelting the riders near the top of the Col de Mont-Louis. truewildgame.online

Organizers made the call to halt the race as the storm intensified, with riders quickly seeking shelter in nearby hotels.
