Rules and Fair playRoad closure
L'Etape Slovenia by Tour de France cycling takes place on roads closed to other traffic and/or accompanied by security vehicles. On Sunday's route, there are police officers with vehicles and on motorbikes, inter-civic personnel and technical assistance.
Ensuring safety comes first, so all participants are encouraged to follow road traffic regulations, instructions from attendants, police officers and volunteers, road markings and sports etiquette.
Kilometer 0 - closed ride
To ensure the safety of all participants in Sunday's cycling test, a closed ride takes place up to kilometer 0, which is marked on the route. This means that overtaking the front escort vehicle is not allowed.
Sports etiquette and the principles of fair play
While fair play is often associated with sports its values are so universal that they are leveraged to all aspects of life, including education, business, culture, traffic, family relationships, and relationships with loved ones. Formal and informal rules aim to ensure equal opportunities for everyone to achieve their goals and encourage a fair intention – that our actions steam from the principle of honesty and fairness.
