Thousands of cycling fans are set for a ‘wheelie good’ time on Tuesday 31st January as the 4th edition of the Dubai Tour races through the heart of Dubai Sports City.
As the world’s best riders hit the Dubai streets, Dubai Sports City will be ready to welcome thousands of spectators who want to catch some of the fast-paced cycling action first hand - all from specially selected viewpoints.
The Dubai Tour route will see riders enter Dubai Sports City via the East Gate and cycle through the community before exiting via the West Gate, which can be enjoyed from six specially selected viewpoints, giving supporters the best possible views of the race. Spectators will then get the chance to see the race for the second time as riders travel through Jumeriah Golf Islands and back through Dubai Sports City from west to north.
Dubai Sports City prides itself on being a big advocate of cycling in Dubai and has hosted several free community cycling events including the Great Dubai Pulse Ride, where over 6,000 cyclists have taken part since its inception. In preparation for the race, road closures will be in place from 12.30pm until 3.30pm. Spectators are advised to be at the viewing points no later than 1pm with the Tour expected to pass through from 1.30pm.
