Stage three of the Tour de France 2026 took place without spectators due to persistent wildfire threats in the region. The 195.9km route from Granollers to Les Angles started as scheduled at 11.10am BST/12.10pm CET.

A significant crash occurred at 180km to go, involving Bruno Armirail (Visma-Lease a Bike), Vacek, and three NetCompany Ineos riders. The crash was reportedly caused by a rider attempting to pass Armirail on the inside, with the Frenchman sustaining a knee injury that could impact his role as a domestique for Jonas Vingegaard. Matthew Riccitello (Decathlon CMA CGM Team) also required attention at the doctor's car following the incident. sportbet.reviews
