BERGERAC, France (Reuters) - Most of the Tour de France riders have lost their ability to race and their sponsors should be asking for their money back, three-time champion Greg LeMond said on Tuesday as he lashed out against the 'unwritten rules' of cycling.

In an action-packed ninth stage on Sunday, Fabio Aru attacked Chris Froome six kilometres from the top of the key climb of the day as the race leader raised his arm for assistance, later saying he had a mechanical problem.
