Tour de France Stage 3 Amid Wildfire Threat

Tour de France stage three proceeds without spectators amid wildfire threat, as a crash involving key riders including Bruno Armirail impacts the race.

The third stage of the Tour de France from Granollers to Les Angles (195.9km) is going ahead without fans due to the threat of wildfires. A significant crash occurred at the front of the peloton, 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 suffering what seems to be a knee injury that could affect Jonas Vingegaard's team. Additionally, Matthew Riccitello (Decathlon CMA CGM Team) has also returned to the doctor's car, adding to the race's challenges on a day already affected by safety concerns. amunra.help
