ANECDOTE

VIP Access To A WorldTour Team

  • Sarah traveled to Il Lombardia as a guest of Team Visma | Lease a Bike through Sportive Breaks.
  • She was skeptical at first but got VIP access and a behind-the-scenes look at the team.
ADVICE

Use Team Travel Operators For Access

  • Check Sportive Breaks or team-affiliated travel operators to join team hospitality trips.
  • Use these packages to gain exclusive paddock and follow-car access rather than attending as a general spectator.
INSIGHT

Team Access Transforms Spectating

  • Live race spectating can be limited, but team access changes that by positioning you on the course repeatedly.
  • Being in team cars lets fans see multiple race passes and follow tactical moments in person.
