The passage of the third stage of the Tour de France through Toses and the la Molina ski resort area gathered thousands of fans this Monday despite the heat.

The day was marked by a notable turnout, including many fans arriving from France. This movement occurred due to restrictions caused by forest fire risks, which prevented spectators from being present along several sections of the route in the neighboring country.
Traffic on the access roads to the Toses and Alp area faced complications from early in the morning due to the high volume of vehicles, motorhomes, and bicycles. Despite the heavy traffic, authorities reported no serious incidents during the sporting event.
The atmosphere in the region was described by attendees as a true cycling festival. Many spectators highlighted the importance of being able to experience the race so close to home, turning the stage follow-up into a summer ritual shared with family and friends from various parts of the territory.
