LA CAVERNE DU PONT DARC, France - On any other day, Chris Froome would have beamed with joy while standing on the Tour de France podium in the leaders yellow jersey. DeShawn Williams Jersey Store .As too would have Tom Dumoulin for winning his second stage of this years Tour.But Friday was not any other day, as all who were in the Tour entourage knew so well after waking to news of Thursdays tragic attack in Nice that killed at least 84 people.The Tour continued under heightened security, which had already been ramped up for this years race.Following considerations to cancel the 37.5-kilometre Stage 13 time trial from Bourg-Saint-Andéol to la Caverne du Pont DArc, the decision to continue was made by race organizers in agreement with security officials and the prefecture of the Ardèche, the department through which the stage passed.Before the stage, the advertising caravan drove the route as they usually do, throwing freebies to the crowd, but without the usual fanfare of music and celebration.We want this day to be a day of dignity as a tribute to the victims, said a clearly emotional Tour race director Christian Prudhomme. We asked ourselves [if the stage should be cancelled] but we think, after agreeing with authorities, that the race must continue.The heavy hearts and reflection resonated throughout a day that began with a minutes silence held at the start in Bourg-Saint-Andéol -- a three-hours drive northwest of Nice -- before the first of 188 riders set off.It continued into the night after the Dutchman Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) won the stage in hot and windy conditions in 50 minutes, 15 seconds. Dumoulin beat the Briton Tour champion Froome (Sky), the stage runner-up, by 1:03 and third-place Nelson Oliveira of Portugal (Movistar) by 1:31.Froome added a full minute to his overall lead, which is up to 1:47. Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) moved from fourth to second overall with his sixth-place performance in the time trial. Down from second to third overall went Briton Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange), now 2:45 behind Froome.But time gaps and places did not preoccupy most involved with the Tour in light of the circumstances.On a hugely moving day, there was no more powerful moment than after the stage when Froome, Dumoulin and the three other classification jersey wearers stood together on the podium with head Tour officials for another minutes silence -- all wearing black armbands.Joining the overall leader and stage winner in the only ceremony held after Fridays time trial (organizers did not hold the usual separate jersey presentations) were Yates, in the best young rider white jersey; Belgian Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) in the polka dot top climber jersey; and Slovakian Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) in the green points jersey.Later, Froome and Dumoulin spoke with outward emotion. So affected was Froome, who lives just up the coast from Nice in Monaco, he said when he arrived for his mandatory race leaders press conference that he did not want to answer questions about the Tour.I think its difficult for us to even be here talking about the race with all that happening yesterday down in Nice, Froome said, adding that he was shocked by photos of bodies on Promenade des Anglais after the attack by a man who drove a truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day.Earlier, near the podium where the minutes silence was held, Froome told reporters: It was nice of the other riders to respect that minute of silence. Our thoughts are with everyone, and the families in Nice. Its where I do most of my training. To see the promenade with those horrific images puts things into perspective in the Tour de France.Even when asked specifically about his time trial performance on a hilly course made harder by strong winds and heat, Froome found it hard to delve into analysis.I gave it my everything; my thoughts were a little bit elsewhere today, Froome said.French rider Ama?l Moinard (BMC), who lives in Saint-Laurent-Du-Var near Nice, expressed support for the decision to carry on. We have to keep living or we are going to live in terror every day, he said. We have to go on. There is no other solution.And go on the Tour will do Saturday for Stage 14, a 208.5km leg from Montélimar to Villars les Dombes Parc des Oiseaux that should suit the opportunists rather than overall contenders.But as the peloton continues to race, the Nice attack will weigh on the minds of riders, as it will with all of France, which on Friday began three days of official mourning.
