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

The 195.5km stage from Granollers to Les Angles is scheduled to start at 11:10am BST/12:10pm CET despite the wildfire threat. Organizers have implemented strict safety measures, prohibiting spectators from the final stretch of the route.

The precautionary measures come amid reports of wildfires in the southern French region where the race concludes. UAE Team Emirates-XRG's strong performance in earlier stages has set the tone for what could be a challenging Tour, particularly for defending champion Jonas Vingegaard. rouesnews.click
