Tour de France Stage 3 Held Without Fans Amid Wildfires

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

Tour de France 2026 stage three will proceed without spectators due to wildfire threat, featuring a challenging route from Granollers to Les Angles.

The 195.5km stage from Granollers to Les Angles is scheduled to start at 11.10am BST/12.10pm CET. According to ex-racer and Tour technical director Thierry Gouvenou, the stage presents a perfect opportunity for attackers with its category-one Col de Toses climb and challenging finishes.

The stage features the 9.3km Col de Toses at 6.5% gradient, plus the Col du Calvaire near Font-Romeu and a final 1.5km climb at 7% gradient, all designed to separate riders and potentially change the yellow jersey standings. game-sweetbonanza.com
