Note that the fucker is still burning, and will be for a long time yet. Expect any stages in the area to be moved/cancelled
It'll probably depend on the safety assessment that is made in the coming weeks. I guess for comparison, the Sampson Flat fire in 2015 was in a similar location, closer to the race dates and that resulted in no changes.
But yeah, if there's still flare ups occurring, then there might be route changes. Pretty sure there'd be very few complaints about not riding through a fire zone! :P Frustratingly, many of the towns involved really get behind the race as it pushes tourists out of the CBD and into the surrounding townships, helping out their economy massively.
