A sudden thunderstorm swept through the Vosges mountains on Saturday, disrupting Stage 14 of the Tour de France and forcing emergency intervention at the Col du Page. The storm, which brought heavy rain and lightning, caused a traffic jam in the descent, prompting firefighters to manage the evacuation of the area. Despite the weather, the peloton continued its 155 km route from Mulhouse to the Markstein, passing through the Vosges for 23.5 km. Spectators were seen descending the mountain as the rain intensified, with many seeking shelter. Local authorities praised the rapid response of emergency services in ensuring public safety.
