Tour de France weather canceled stage
They had to end the stage 19 race at the top of the mountain(9000ft) because a sudden storm of hail, rain and snow which caused additional mudslides completely cut off the stage route. One of the wildest things Ive seen happen in an event like this. Competitors were angry as they thought they still had chances of winning/coming back but once you see the problem theres no doubt the race had to be stopped.

Competitors are always angry when they don't get to compete, it's how you know they're real competitors. Don't follow cycling, but saw the news reports, and yeah, agreed there's no way they could have continued without MAJOR danger to peoples lives.

I watch it mainly to see the breathtaking views all over France and this year Belgium. The many ancient structures and other historical sites are a free vacation. Beautiful country and Belgium, this year in Brussels was amazing to see.
