Tour de France 19th Stage Cancelled Early Due To Hail & Snow Near Last Section in ALPs.

With Times Taken at Earlier Mark, It Will Cost the French Leader the Yellow Jersey Tonight & Gives It To Peruvian Rider Who's Youngest Rider in Entire Race.

Tour Will Be Over Sunday in Paris.

Supposed to head my way (Coppet, north of Geneva) tonight. We'll be ready though! Made my beer run to the store before they close at 7 PM!

Go Tigers AND Tiger Nation(al and WORLD CHAMPIONS!)!

I blame global warming. Colombians have an advantage as the earth warms, they are accustomed to the higher temps.

No way JA was going to keep yellow with last 3 days in Alps. He may not even be on podium.

Can't they rush a pack of St. Bernards to the scene with a few dozen vials of steroids so this thing can continue!!!!

Video and a couple of things to correct

It wasn't just hail, there was a landslide.

Here's the video:

Here's video of flooding on the course:

Also, Egan Bernal is Colombian not Peruvian, and Julian Alaphilippe was going to lose at least another 3 minutes on the final climb, so he got lucky the race was canceled when it was.

Alaphilippe lost approximately 2 mins and 15 seconds to Bernal on the stage, which puts him down 45 seconds or so going into the final mountain stage tomorrow. Alaphilippe will have to have a miracle stage to get back in yellow, but I hope it happens. He's had a tour nobody saw coming (not even him or his team), and I hope he has one more surprise left.

Egan Bernal is a great story too. He's the youngest rider left in the race at 22. He is the future of cycling, and he's about to get an early start on amazing grand tour victories.
