The third stage of the Tour de France was halted for about 15 minutes after a pile-up that brought down around 20 riders and caused four to withdraw.


On flat, straight road, William Bonnet clipped the wheel of Warren Barguil ahead of him, taking out a mass of riders who couldn’t stop in time—including Fabian Cancellara, who started the day wearing yellow—and one poor sap who ate it on the other side of the road


Bonnet was stretchered off with a neck brace. Dutchman Tom Dumoulin, Australian Simon Gerrans, and Russian Dmitry Kozontchuk also pulled out.
