It can be difficult to keep spectators away from the public road, and the solution is not interesting.
It is an opportunity to settle PostNord Denmark Around completely without spectators, but the option is neither particularly interesting or easy to implement.
this is Why it is also in the game to run cycling for a limited number of spectators.
It says organise running events too Jesper Worre, after prime minister Mette Frederiksen Monday stated to continue shall be a maximum total of ten people in the same place up to 10. may and banned large gatherings and with the end of august.
– To run without spectators is a possibility, and they did it in Paris-Nice. It is not a particularly interesting option, because we wont to make a celebration.
– But we may well run for a limited number of spectators. It is also about what is practically possible, and so we must take it away, ” said Jesper Worre.
the Matter is that it is close to practically impossible to completely keep people away from hundreds of miles of public road.
As the rest of the idrætsdanmark waiting Jesper Worre, therefore, a clear definition of what the prime minister believes with large assemblies.
– It is a tough announcement to come with so many months in the future. Mette Frederiksen can’t even answer what the major assemblies are. And it could easily be that large assemblies is something different in august than they are in may and June, says løbsarrangøren.
PostNord Denmark Around is kalendersat from 11. 15. august, and Jesper Worre is in continuous contact with the partners, including sponsors and municipalities.
When the Danish Cycling Union get an exact definition of its extent, from the Danish sports confederation (DIF), a decision will be taken about the conduct of the race.
Earlier Tuesday, said DIF director Morten Mølholm, that the ban on large-scale events means that there will not be settled fights with spectators in the whole of the period.
– We are waiting for the precise definition on the big events, but the limit will probably be 500 or 1000 people, says Morten Mølholm.
Jesper Worre will not put a figure on the pain threshold of the allowed number of spectators. He speaks instead of an understanding that the sport is conducted under a different framework than, for example, halsport.
– A pain threshold I will not speculate. But we’re an outdoor sport, we are not all indoor, and we have the media to be able to communicate, if we need to run a few spectators. We have DR and Eurosport, so in theory we can still make a fat bike race with few spectators.
– Right now I think either the one or the other, but it is simply our duty to be expectant and see what is up and down. Denmark Round is an important race for Danish cycling, ” said Jesper Worre.
He is waiting for a final clarification, on the other side of easter.
