Warner Bros Discovery Bulgaria, the rights holder for broadcasting the Giro d’Italia, has provided guidelines for cycling enthusiasts planning to attend the race stages in Bulgaria. While viewers can follow the entire event from home via Eurosport and HBO Max, an in-person experience offers a distinct atmosphere. All stages will remain accessible on demand through 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 are often occupied. Visitors must be prepared for significant walking, as designated spectator parking areas are unavailable, with space reserved for official vehicles.
Regarding safety, fans are advised not to step into the roadway. If an individual does enter the road, they must move away well before riders arrive to prevent endangering the athletes. Loose items like bags or cameras should be secured, as they pose a snagging risk.
Road crossings should only occur when it is certain that no high-speed riders are approaching. Adherence to instructions from race stewards is mandatory, particularly at start and finish points. Fans are encouraged to support the riders through applause.
Direct interaction, such as attempting to take water bottles from riders, is discouraged, although polite requests may be welcomed. In team bus areas, spectators must remain aware of returning cyclists and avoid walking in the middle of the road. For further information, please consult the official guidelines from Discovery.
