Warner Bros. Discovery Bulgaria, the rights holder for broadcasting the Giro d’Italia, has provided guidelines for cycling fans planning to attend the race stages in Bulgaria. While viewers can follow all stages at home via Eurosport and HBO Max, attending in person offers a distinct spectator experience.
All stages will remain available on demand on HBO Max’s “Sport” section for at least one month post-race. Spectators should note that start and finish zones are restricted areas, with access limited to organizers, teams, media, and accredited personnel. Early arrival is advised, as visibility may be poor and prime viewing spots fill quickly.
Visitors should prepare for significant walking, as dedicated spectator parking areas are unavailable, with space reserved for teams and media. While close proximity to riders is possible near team bus parking areas, usually at finish lines and occasionally at starts, fans are encouraged to support the riders through applause and participation in the atmosphere. Crucially, spectators must not step onto the roadway.
If an intrusion occurs, individuals should move away well in advance of the riders’ arrival to ensure safety. Loose items like bags or cameras must be secured to prevent entanglement. Road crossings should only occur when it is confirmed that no riders are approaching at high speed, and all instructions from race stewards must be followed, especially at start and finish areas.
Fans are advised to avoid attempting to take water bottles directly from riders, though polite requests may yield positive results. Furthermore, in team bus areas, spectators should remain alert for returning cyclists and avoid walking in the middle of the road.
