Tour de France 2023 Stage 3: How to watch, TV and live stream details, route profile, on-air time

The 2023 Tour de France is off to a sensational start. After the Yates twins kicked things off with a brotherly one-two in Bilbao, Victor Lafay (Cofidis) staged a one-man ambush to stun Wout van Aert and Jumbo-Visma on Stage 2. The categorised climbs keep coming on Stage 3, with four more taking the race total to 14.

Ad Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) may not have made Robbie McEwen's top five sprinters at the 2023 Tour – don't panic, he was sixth – but he will be looking to prove the doubters wrong, again, when the race arrives in Bayonne on Monday.
