Giornata da dimenticare al Delfinato per alcuni corridori che sono stati colpiti, nel vero senso della parola, da una violenta grandinata. Incredibli anche le immagini postate da Tim Declerq con la schiena piena di bolli rossi. Fortunatamente dopo pochi minuti la situazione era risolta.

Alcuni corridori hanno cercato un riparo improvvisato sotto gli alberi, sotto le tende dei tifosi o nelle baite.

At one point, the accumulation turned into floods and a guy like @tonymartin85 had to find a new shelter... Our own @guyniv1 said:”It hit me so hard... Never experienced something like that.., just wanted to cross the line and get to the bus... Crazy! ” @dauphine pic.twitter.com/21BwHcGvNn
