Tour de France Stage 3 Without Fans Amid Wildfires

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

Tour de France 2026 stage three proceeds without spectators due to wildfire concerns, with significant crash involving key riders unfolding early in the race.

The third stage of the Tour de France 2026 is continuing from Granollers to Les Angles (195.9km) despite the absence of fans due to wildfire threats. The race began at 11.10am BST/12.10pm CET, with riders facing challenging conditions.

A major crash has occurred with 180km remaining, involving Bruno Armirail (Visma-Lease a Bike), Vacek, and three Netcompany Ineos riders. The crash appears to have been caused by a rider attempting to pass on the inside, with Armirail sustaining a knee injury that could impact Jonas Vingegaard's support team. Matthew Riccitello (Decathlon CMA CGM Team) has also returned to the doctor's car, adding to concerns in the peloton. raccoongame.org
