Tour de France leader Chris Froome and competitors at the 145th Open have paid their respects to victims of the terrorist attack in Nice which has left over 80 people dead.

France has been stunned after a large truck careered along Nice's packed waterfront where people had gathered for a Bastille Day fireworks display.

The Open's organisers, the R&A, have made black armbands available to players to wear as a mark of respect, and the French flag has been lowered to half-mast over the 18th green.

France's Clement Sordet, 23, had written "PrayForNice" on his cap as he teed off in the second round at Royal Troon.

Froome, the defending Tour champion, posted a picture of the blue, white and red French flag and wrote: "Thoughts are with those affected by the horrific terror attack in Nice."

The attack in Nice follow those in Paris last November which left 130 people dead.

The Tour de France is due to continue on Friday, and a Diamond League athletics meeting is due to take place on Friday evening in Monaco - just 12 miles from Nice.
