Vuelta a España Stage Abandoned Due to Hailstorm

Riders were caught in a torrential hailstorm while climbing the Col de Mont-Louis, with huge hailstones pelting the cyclists. Organizers made the decision to halt the stage with approximately 15km to go, and footage showed riders seeking shelter in nearby hotels along the route.

The abandonment marks the first significant weather disruption of this year's Vuelta a España, as the race continues through challenging conditions in the mountainous region of southern France and northern Spain. tbzikra.org
