Tour de France Stage 3 Runs Without Fans Due to Wildfire Threat

The stage is scheduled to begin at 11.10am BST/12.10pm CET as the race continues despite safety concerns. The decision to ban spectators comes amid growing wildfire risks in the region, with organizers prioritizing safety protocols for riders and staff.

Following UAE Team Emirates-XRG's dominant performance in stage two, which suggested Jonas Vingegaard may have another strong Tour, the third stage presents a new challenge with the modified conditions. The absence of fans will certainly change the atmosphere for what is typically one of cycling's most celebrated events. zeppelin.cool
