Tour de France Stage 3 goes ahead in spectator-free, wildfire-adapted format
Stage 3 of the 2026 Tour de France will proceed in an adapted form due to a wildfire emergency in southern France: no spectators along the route, the publicity caravan will not depart on French soil, and access is limited to riders and essential race vehicles as officials assess whether the uphill finish at Les Angles can be safely reached amid road closures and heat risk.
