How to Watch Stage 3: Stream Tour de France Live, TV Channel
The 2023 Tour de France will cross over from Spain's Basque region into France during Stage 3 on Monday after opening the race with two grueling stages in the mountains of northeastern Spain. The Tour's first flat stage should bring the sprinters to the forefront for the 120.2 mile ride from Amorebiela-Etxano, Spain to Bayonne, France. There are still four climbs in the first half of Stage 3, including the Category 3 Côte d'Orioko Benta with roughly 56 miles remaining. It is expected for the stage to end in a field sprint, with an uncategorized climb about 12 miles from Bayonne that should provide a perfect launch point for an attack to the finish.

Britain's Adam Yates, riding for UAE Team Emirates, will keep the yellow jersey to begin Stage 3 with a six second lead over two-time Tour winner and teammate Tadej Pogačar and Team Jayco Alula's Simon Yates, Adam Yates' twin brother.
Victor Lalay won Sunday's stage two, maintaining a French tradition of wins in San Sebastian, as he escaped the peleton about a half-mile before the end for the Cofidis team.
The run to the finish in Bayonne on Monday includes a series of roundabouts for about 1.5 miles. A little more than a mile from the finish, riders will navigate a 180-degree right turn as they loop under and onto the avenue that leads to the finish line. It will be a fast finish, as well, with a downhill toward the one-kilometer-to-go banner before rising over the final quarter-mile.
Regional restrictions may apply.
