Stage three of the Tour de France will be held without spectators due to ongoing wildfire threats in the region. The 195.5km route from Granollers to Les Angles presents several challenges for riders, including the category-one Col de Toses (9.3km at 6.5% gradient).

Technical director Thierry Gouvenou described the stage as "perfect for the attackers" with opportunities for stage wins and potentially the yellow jersey. Key challenges include the Col du Calvaire near Font-Romeu and a final 1.5km climb to Les Angles at a seven percent gradient. amunra-opinie.pl
