Planning on attending an event?

If you have tickets for a venue event please see the UCI website for the bespoke Spectator Guides which have been produced for each venue. These guides will provide you with all of the information you need to have the best time and make the most of the experience!

If you are planning on attending a road event as a non-ticketed spectator, driving and parking nearby will not be an option. You are encouraged to spread out along the route and walk to your viewing point.

• Road closures will be in place at the start, finish and along the route. Walk or cycle to your closest part of the route for the easiest way to catch the action.
• Bus services will be impacted with diversions in place and changes to timetables. Visit Traveline Scotland or check with your operator before travelling.
• Consider travelling by train to a station on route
• Remember to be responsible and watch from a safe location.
• If you do need to drive, park responsibly. Do not park on the route, in laybys or verges.
