Spectator Information
A Spectator Information leaflet is available which includes the full route map and other useful information.
Spectators planning to watch the race along any part of the route are asked to bear a few key things in mind:
- have a plan B – if you arrive at any point on the route and find it busy, please be prepared to move on to another location
- personal responsibility – only stay at a location if you have space. Consider wearing a mask if it makes you feel safer
- give people space – avoid crowded areas, and remember face coverings are advised as they often help others to feel safe too
- parking is limited – please only park where parking is available, stick to local parking restrictions and never park on the route. Can you cycle or walk safely to the location where you want to watch the cyclists pass? Consider public transport where possible
- respect the safety of the riders – please give them space as they pass along the route. Please note that you will not be able to access the team parking areas at the start and finishes
