Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin won the toughest stage in the Pyrenees of the Tour de France with a solo breakaway in a hailstorm Sunday.
Part of an early breakaway, Dumoulin attacked with 12 kilometres remaining in the 184.5km leg from Vielha d’Aran, Spain, to Arcalis in the principality of Andorra.
The ninth stage featured five demanding climbs, including an uphill, hors categorie (beyond-category) finish in Arcalis.
The general classification lead pack featuring Team Sky rider Chris Froome in the yellow jersey arrived about six and a half minutes behind, led by Adam Yates of Orica-BikeExchange. Froome retained the yellow jersey with a 16-second lead on Yates.
On Team Giant-Alpecin, Dumoulin won the opening time trial in this year’s Giro d’Italia and wore the overall leader’s pink jersey for six stages before withdrawing midway through the race with saddle sores.
He also won two stages in last year’s Vuelta a Espana.
Portugal’s Rui Costa was second at 38 seconds with Rafal Majka of Poland third at the end of the 184 stage that started with temperatures at 41 Celsius (106 Farenheit) before the weather changed abruptly into driving rain and hail in Andorra.
But the Tour lost two-time former champion Alberto Contador who pulled out just over 80km into the stage as he succumbed to injury and illness.
Contador had injured his entire right side after crashing on the first two stages while he also had a virus on Sunday morning.
Briton Yates, Nairo Quintana of Colombia and Australian Richie Porte crossed the line with favourite Froome, suggesting they may prove to be his main rivals this year.

Libi has been involved in threatening and perpetuating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinians. His firm has provided logistical and financial support for the establishment of illegal outposts.

Key recommendations
- Fewer criminals put behind bars and more to serve sentences in the community, with short sentences scrapped and many inmates released earlier
- Greater use of curfews and exclusion zones to deliver tougher supervision than ever on criminals.
- Explore wider powers for judges to punish offenders by blocking them from attending football matches, banning them from driving or travelling abroad through an expansion of ‘ancillary orders’.
- More Intensive Supervision Courts to tackle the root causes of crime such as alcohol and drug abuse – forcing repeat offenders to take part in tough treatment programmes or face prison.
