Tour de France Stage 3 Held Without Fans Due to Wildfire Risk

Published July 6, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · The Guardian

Tour de France stage three from Granollers to Les Angles (195.5km) will proceed without fans due to wildfire threat. The technical director describes it as perfect for attackers.

The third stage of Tour de France 2026 will be held without spectators due to a wildfire threat. The 195.5km route from Granollers to Les Angles features a category-one climb at Col de Toses (9.3km at 6.5%) and presents significant opportunities for attackers.

According to technical director Thierry Gouvenou, the stage's challenging finale with climbs at Col du Calvaire and the final 1.5km climb to Les Angles at seven percent gradient could separate riders and potentially change the yellow jersey leadership. mwafrika.life
