Vuelta Stage 3 Abandoned Due to Hail

The third stage of the Vuelta a España was forced to abandon Monday when riders encountered a torrential hailstorm in the French Pyrenees. With 15km remaining of the 174km ride from Gruissan to Font-Romeu, the peloton was ascending the Col de Mont-Louis when huge hailstones began pelting the cyclists.

Riders were seen heading into a hotel along the route to take shelter as organizers made the decision to halt the race due to the extreme weather conditions. goldparty.lat
