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.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.Tom Brady Jersey Michigan .

With assistance from our friends in Toronto, we have started our own search for items on the Hockey Hall of Fames most wanted list.We want this to be interactive, so if you know where any of these artifacts are located, or if youve heard rumors of their whereabouts while standing around the skate sharpener, be sure to reach out to me on Twitter @ESPNJoeyMac.The first few items were investigating are a rare sweater, a record-breaking stick, a historic game-winning puck and an iconic goalie mask.Our main objective is that [artifacts], once we know about them or find them, are preserved and kept for heritage sake, said Izak Westgate, manager of outreach exhibits and assistant curator at the Hall of Fame in Toronto. Would it be great to have them in the Hall of Fame, where they can be displayed and shown to everyone? Absolutely. But as long as we know theyre out there and someone is keeping it and making sure itll be in good condition long-term, then really thats the most important thing, whether its another museum or in someones special collection who really cares about it. Because you would hate to see -- especially the extremely rare items -- go missing because once theyre gone, theyre gone forever.Let the scavenger hunt begin.WANTED:The first sweater worn by Boston Bruins pioneer Willie OReeORee, now 81, became the first black player in the NHL when he made his debut with the Bruins on Jan. 18, 1958. He played only two games that season and another 43 during the 1960-61 season, wearing No. 22.After the 1961 season, coach Milt Schmidt told ORee to return home, enjoy the summer and prepare for the next season with the Bruins. Six weeks later, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens. And he never played in the NNHL again.dddddddddddd If I knew back then I was going to be traded, I would have tried to take my sweater with me, he said. But I thought I was coming back and I never saw it again. I would love to have my Bruins jersey. I would have framed it.Dick Meissner wore No. 22 for the Bruins in 1961-62 and a series of players (mostly short-timers) wore it before Brad Parks arrival in 1975, including Irv Spencer, Bill Knibbs, Tom Webster, Bill Lesuk, Jim Lorentz, Ivan Boldirev, Chris Oddleifson and Doug Gibson. From 2008-14, it was worn by?Shawn Thornton.ORee has become an ambassador for the game and is highly regarded in the world of hockey.During the 2016 Stanley Cup finals, the San Jose Sharks Joel Ward, who is black and wears No. 42 in honor of baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, said the NHL should discuss the possibility of retiring ORees No. 22. It would be great if they did, Ward said. With the amount of respect Willie has around the league, it would definitely be something special if that did come up.WHY:Everything tells a story, but a sweater is generally colorful and everyone likes to see them, Westgate explained. Where sticks kind of all look the same, sweaters generally all have a unique identity to them, whether its the logo or the colors they wore or the style, the era, etc., and theyre always, along with goalie masks, the two most popular things we get requested or that we display.Any of those rare sweaters, obviously if one was found, we would want it to be in the Hall of Fame and be able to show it to everyone.STATUS:Unknown. I have no idea where my jersey is, ORee said. I often wondered.CASE: MISSING ' ' '
