Tour de France Stage 3 Without Fans Amid Wildfire Threat

The Tour de France 2026 continued with stage three running without spectators due to an ongoing wildfire threat in the region. The 195.9km route from Granollers to Les Angles began at 11.10am BST/12.10pm CET as planned, despite safety concerns.

A major crash involving Bruno Armirail (Visma-Lease a Bike), Vacek, and three Netcompany Ineos riders occurred 180km into the stage. The crash appears to have been caused by a rider attempting an inside pass, with Armirail suffering a knee injury that could impact Jonas Vingegaard's team. Matthew Riccitello (Decathlon CMA CGM Team) also visited the doctor's car following the incident. milkshakeslot.lat
