Warner Bros Discovery Bulgaria, the rights holder for broadcasting the Giro d’Italia, has issued specific guidelines for cycling enthusiasts planning to attend the race stages live within Bulgaria. While viewers can follow the event from home via Eurosport and HBO Max, in-person attendance offers a unique spectator experience. Spectators should be aware that start and finish zones are restricted areas, with access limited to organizers, teams, media, and accredited personnel.
Due to these restrictions, arriving late is discouraged, as visibility may be compromised and prime viewing spots may already be occupied. Furthermore, visitors should anticipate walking, as designated parking areas for spectators are not available; these spaces are reserved for teams and media. Safety protocols are paramount.
Spectators must not step onto the roadway. If doing so, they must move well clear of the path before riders arrive to prevent danger. Loose items, such as cameras or bags, should be secured as they could snag on passing cyclists.
Crossing the road is only advised when there is a clear absence of high-speed traffic, and all instructions from race stewards must be followed. While close interaction with the riders is possible near team bus parking areas, fans are encouraged to support the athletes through applause rather than attempting to take water bottles directly from them. Following a stage, riders may still be highly energized or fatigued.
In team bus areas, maintaining awareness of cyclists returning to their teams is necessary. These guidelines ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all fans attending the Giro d’Italia stages across Bulgaria.
