Rain neutralises Tour de France finish

Rain has caused Tour de France organisers to neutralise the 10 laps around the Champs Elysees on the prestigious race's finish in Paris on Sunday. Organisers ASO decided shortly before the peloton arrived in Paris to neutralise the race form the moment the peloton first crosses the finish line. Article 20 of the race rules state that the stage can be neutralised from the first crossing of the finishing line if rain renders the cobbled streets dangerous.
