Wildfires are sweeping through the Pyrénées-Orientales region of southern France, prompting Tour de France organisers to take drastic action. In a bid to ensure the safety of riders and staff, spectators have been banned from stage three of the prestigious cycling event. The move comes as a massive wildfire rages through the region, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes and sparking concerns about air quality. With the health and safety of everyone involved in the Tour de France being the top priority, the decision to exclude spectators from the stage is a precautionary measure to prevent any potential risks.
