Tour de France Stage 3 Without Fans

Tour de France 2026 stage three will be held without fans amid wildfire concerns, with the 195.5km route from Granollers to Les Angles set to challenge riders with multiple climbs.

The third stage of the Tour de France 2026 will proceed without spectators due to an ongoing wildfire threat. The 195.5km route from Granollers to Les Angles features a category-one climb, the Col de Toses (9.3km at 6.5%), and is described as perfect for attackers by technical director Thierry Gouvenou.

The finale includes the Col du Calvaire near Font-Romeu and a final 1.5km climb to Les Angles at a 7% gradient, presenting an opportunity for riders to seek a stage win and possibly gain the yellow jersey. The official start time is set for 11.10am BST/12.10pm CET. betsport24.es
