Tour de France stage three continues without spectators due to wildfire threat, while a major crash impacts several riders including Bruno Armirail.

The Tour de France 2026 stage three from Granollers to Les Angles (195.9km) is proceeding without fans as organizers respond to a wildfire threat in the region.

With 180km remaining, a significant crash occurred at the front of the peloton involving Bruno Armirail (Visma-Lease a Bike), Vacek, and three Netcompany Ineos riders. The crash appears to have been caused by a rider attempting to pass on the inside, with Armirail suffering what seems to be a knee injury that could impact his role as a domestique for Jonas Vingegaard. Additionally, Matthew Riccitello (Decathlon CMA CGM Team) was seen returning to the doctor's car for treatment. saltysenoritaaz.org
