Entertainment along the route
The advertising convoy, which precedes the race by about an hour, is always popular. Around 18 vehicles from various Tour de Suisse partners will be handing out giveaways and playing music to entertain fans along the road. If you want to get something from the advertising convoy, you must stand on the right-hand side of the road. This is the only place where the cars stop to hand out hats, drinks, chewing gum and much more. Detailed transit times can be found in the race schedule for each stage.
Spectators who prefer to follow the race from the finish area can pass the time until the finish in the Tour de Suisse Village. Among other things, the partners in the Village have competitions, games and great giveaways.
As well as the partners’ stands, autograph sessions will be held in the Village almost every day. In addition to the teams EHC Kloten (Monday 10th June in Regensdorf) and FC Zurich (Tuesday 11th June in Rüschlikon), winter sports athletes such as Alex Fiva, Nicolas Huber and BMX racer Zoé Claessens will also be at the Tour de Suisse.
The Tour de Suisse for children
Practice makes perfect! This motto also applies to cycling. For the youngest fans of the Tour de Suisse, there will therefore be a Kids World presented by Fizzy and Primeo Energie on both weekends. In the start and finish area, children can get a taste of cycling and put their skills to the test in various disciplines. With the help of our supervisors, nothing stands in the way of an adventure on the pump track or the obstacle course.
And for the even younger ones, there is also a daily Primeo Energie Kids Race on the finishing straight. The popular balance bike race takes place at every stage finish. Bikes, helmets and T-shirts will be provided on site. Together with the Tour de Suisse mascot “Tourli”, parents can cheer on their little ones as if they were already professionals.
TdS FanZone by Primeo Energie
It doesn’t matter whether you’re at the side of the road or sitting comfortably on your sofa at home. The TdS FanZone by Primeo presents a digital world to complement the racing spectacle on the road, bringing the Tour de Suisse even closer to fans. True to the motto – Unforgettable experiences for enthusiastic fans – the TdS FanZone by Primeo Energie offers even more highlights during the Tour de Suisse 2024 than ever before.
