The overnight bookies favourite pulls out halfway with a knee injury.

The Yellow Jersey wearer for most of the 3 weeks loses his lead on a brutal climb.

Two bitter blows for France which looked like it might finally produce the winner.

The stage finally stopped as a result of inclement weather, with snow ploughs employed to bulldoze avalanches of snow, slush and water from the villages below the mountain peaks.  And yes, this is JULY.

They decided the race times would be taken at the finish line on top of the biggest mountain peak, and didn't include the descent that followed, thus knackering the Yellow Jersey holder who was reportedly making up time down the hill.

I would query that - there isn't anything in the exchange rules that allows them to do that.

They seem to make up the rules as they go !

I was out yesterday sweating like a pig and pondering what it must be like to to a tour de france hill climb in this, I didn't even know it was on. Strange coincidence.
Snow? FFS. Bloody French can't even get their weather right, just shows Brexit was the correct decision LaughDevilWinkWhoops.

Actually I was caught in a thunderstorm in Paris on a sweltering hot day that had heavy hail, come to think of it. Extremes of weather do wierd things.
