Tour de France fans have been urged not to attend the end of the third stage because of wildfires in the south of France.
Monday's mountain stage will begin in Granollers, Spain, and conclude within 60 kilometres (37.3 miles) of some of the worst of the fires across the border in Les Angles.
While the 195.9km route is not expected to change, Tour organisers have asked fans and unessential personnel to stay away from the final 40km.
"An exceptional fire calls for exceptional measures for the Tour," said race director Christian Prudhomme.
"We invite the public not to come to the edge of the race or to the finish site."
