LA CAVERNE DU PONT-DARC, France -- The Tour de France rode on as planned Friday, with thousands of fans lining the roads and amid reinforced security a day after a deadly attack in Nice.France was reeling again after a large truck mowed through a crowd of revelers gathered for a Bastille Day fireworks display in the Riviera city of Nice, killing at least 84 people Thursday night. The attack, on Frances national holiday, followed attacks in November in Paris that killed 130.The carnage did not deter cycling fans from showing up in numbers at the starting line in the small town of Bourg-Saint-Andeol.We cant let our guard down, but it was important that they continued the race, said Bruno Pruvost, a 56-year-old fan. Otherwise, it would be too easy for them.Defending champion Chris Froome, the races current leader, tweeted a picture of the blue, white and red French flag Friday.Froome extended his overall lead Friday after organizers decided the hilly, 23-mile leg from Bourg-Saint-Andeol to La Caverne du Pont-DArc in the Ardeche region would go ahead following an emergency meeting with authorities.Froome finished second to Tom Dumoulin on the 13th stage but ahead of all other general classification contenders. A time trial specialist, Dumoulin was in a league of his own, but Froome limited his time loss to 63 seconds.Its terrible what happened and overshadows the day a lot, said Dumoulin, who also won a mountain stage last week in the Pyrenees. So youre speaking to a man with two sides to his face today. Of course Im happy with the win, but at the same time my thoughts are with everyone involved in the horrific attacks in Nice.Froome leads Dutch rider Bauke Mollema by 1:47 overall, with fellow Briton Adam Yates in third place, 2:45 back.There was a moment of silence at the start, several hours drive from Nice.?After the stage, Froome was joined on the podium by the other jersey holders, Dumoulin and several Tour officials to pay their respects to the victims.Today, we want to pay homage to the victims with dignity, tour director Christian Prudhomme said. We have been asking ourselves if the race should continue, and after consulting with authorities, we have decided that it should. The Tour de France will continue in a subdued and solemn manner.France has declared three days of national mourning after the attack in Nice.The publicity caravan -- which precedes the riders on the stage route every day, handing out free gifts and souvenirs and blasting loud music -- rode silently Friday.Security already had been reinforced at the Tour this year, with France in a state of emergency since the Paris attacks. The three-week race is protected by an unprecedented force of 23,000 police officers, including SWAT-like intervention squads, while security guards perform bag checks and pat downs at the start and finish of every stage.Eric Luzet, the polices liaison officer to the Tour, said extra security measures were implemented overnight, with 600 police officers in charge of security for the stage.We have adjusted our measures after what happened in Nice, Luzet said. They have been deployed at the start and finish of the stage and along the 37.5 kilometers of the route.Mollema -- who was involved in a crash with Froome in the final mile of Thursdays Stage 12 at Mont Ventoux, when a TV motorbike was forced to stop on the road because of fan congestion -- said his thoughts are with the people in Nice.Froome was awarded the same time as Mollema after he was forced to wait for a replacement bike following the incident, a decision that left Mollema unhappy. But the Dutch rider put his rivalry with Froome aside.I couldnt sleep yet and now read about something more important than the Tour, Mollema wrote on Twitter.French climber Romain Bardet also expressed sadness over the attack.Being French, gathering, celebrating, loving each other, he posted on social media. And never giving up. Im thinking about Nice.The Associated Press and the Press Association contributed to this report.Kurt Warner Rams Jersey .

Etoo gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th.WASHINGTON -- Two poorly placed fastballs created plenty of problems for Lucas Giolito and the Washington Nationals on Sunday.The rookie right-hander gave up consecutive home runs in the third inning to Colorados Nolan Arenado and David Dahl on fastballs as the Rockies earned a series victory with a 5-3 triumph.Giolito (0-1), one of baseballs top prospects, gave up four runs in five innings after his recall from Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day. It was his fourth start of the season for Washington, and first since July 24.He was getting it over better today than he had in the past, said manager Dusty Baker, whose team has dropped six of eight. They didnt miss his fastball. That was the key. The two home runs were fastballs.Trea Turner, Wilson Ramos and Bryce Harper each hit solo home runs for the Nationals. But they could muster little else against Colorado starter Chad Bettis (11-7), who allowed two runs and five hits and struck out six over seven innings in his longest start since April 10. Adam Ottavino earned his second save.Both teams scored a run in the first inning, and the Rockies took the lead for good in the third when Arenado lined an 0-2 pitch to left for a two-run homer. Arenado, who went 4 for 4, has 35 home runs this season.I missed the spot pretty bad with the fastball, Giolito said. Its supposed to go up and in and I missed right over the plate. That happens with these hitters. I just have to be better about getting ahead of guys and finishing guys off with the pitch I want to throw and make sure I hit my spots.Dahl sent Giolitos next pitch into the stands in left-center to make it 4-1.Giolito said he was pitching better at Syracuse over the last month, but struggled with his command against Colorado. He departed after throwing 100 pitches.I was putting guys away a lot more efficiently than I did today, Giolito said. A lot of 0-2, 1-2 counts turned into 3-2, 2-2. I kind of let some at-bats get awway from me when I was in the drivers seat and I could have made something happen.dddddddddddd When Im 100 pitches-ish through five innings, then Im not pitching the way I should be pitching.Colorado added a run in the eighth inning when Washington reliever Koda Glovers wild pitch landed flush on the left shoulder of home plate umpire Mike Muchlinksi. As Nationals catcher Ramos checked on the crumpled umpire and searched for the ball, Daniel Descalso scored from second base for a 5-2 lead.I heard the impact and it was very hard and loud, so my initial reaction was to turn around and catch the umpire and see if he was all right, Ramos said. When I picked up my eyesight to look for the ball, I looked in the wrong direction and could not find it.Muchlinksi remained in the game.Harper homered off Colorado reliever Boone Logan to lead off the ninth, but Ottavino retired all three hitters he faced to end the Nationals rally.DIFO OPTIONEDTo make room for Giolito, the Nationals optioned INF Wilmer Difo to Double-A Harrisburg. Difo was hitting .257 with no homers and five RBI in 18 games with Washington.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: RHP Tyler Chatwood (10-8, 3.75), on the disabled list with a mid-back strain since Aug. 16, will have a rehab start Monday for Double-A Hartford at Richmond. Chatwood is expected to go five innings or about 75 pitches.Nationals: RHP Joe Ross (right shoulder inflammation) allowed one run on three hits in one inning Sunday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse.UP NEXTRockies: Colorado returns home to begin a three-game series against the Dodgers. RHP Jon Gray (8-6, 4.61) gets the nod for the Rockies.Nationals: RHP Tanner Roark (13-7, 2.99 ERA) faces Phillies rookie Jake Thompson (1-3, 9.78) in the first of 22 straight games for Washington against NL East opponents.
