Organisers halted stage three of the 2026 Vuelta a España on Monday. A severe storm hit the Pyrenees area. Officials brought the stage to a halt near Font-Romeu on the Col de Mont-Louis with less than 20km left. Heavy hail hammered the course. No riders were injured. Emergency crews helped move fans off the mountain. This was the first stage three stoppage since 1991.
The sprint lead turned over before the stop. Race bosses are assessing new routes for the next legs now. They will give riders a new start time on Tuesday. Outlets like the BBC, The Guardian, TNT Sports, and IDLprocycling reported the news.
