Tour de France 2016: Jarlinson Pantano sums up the mood at the end of rain and hail-soaked stage 9 after swapping his gloves for an umbrella

ONE Tour de France rider summed up the mood in a rain and hail-soaked summit finish as he grabbed an umbrella of a fan.

Jarlinson Pantano traded his gloves with one spectator for a brolly as he approached the final metres of stage nine to Andorra Arcalis.

The Colombian, 27, finished the stage a lowly 113th – and 32min 3sec down – on the day during a stage that went from the searing heat to the freezing torrential rain that eventually turned into hailstones.

Dutchman Tom Dumolin won on the Tour’s final stage before a well-earned rest day for the riders.

Chris Froome held on to the Yellow Jersey in Andorra – as Bury ace Adam Yates continues to put in an excellent performance in second place, 16sec back on the defending champ.

Pantano was obviously happy to give fans something to laugh about in the inclement weather.

His Twitter emojis were enough to give away that the Colombian was having a laugh in amongst all the terrible weather.

Froome said after the stage: “I could not be in a better place right now.

“It was a tough old day out there and we went from extreme 35-degree heat to the other extreme of hailstones at the finish in 10 degrees.”

Team Sky pal Geraint Thomas quipped: “It was quite nice, like being back in Wales.”
