We want to be good neighbours and restrict traffic as little as possible in the area where the race will take place. At the same time, we take the utmost care of the safety of spectators and cyclists. In most cases, we only use a rolling road closure for the shortest possible time. Roads will be closed just before the peloton passes and always open after the peloton passes. Maps and leaflets with the closures can be downloaded here.
It will not be possible to get to Pustevny by car on Friday 26 July 2024. Please use regular bus routes, the cable car from Trojanovice, your own bike or walking route. We are very sorry for the restriction, but we will make up for it with the experience of finishing the second stage of the prestigious race, which is attended by the best teams in the world. The expected finish of the stage is at 16:40 right at the top.
