From 21 to 29 September 2024, the aforementioned sporting event with international appeal took place in Zurich. A highlight for cyclists and cycling fans. Around 900'000 visitors made their way to Zurich and the surrounding area to watch the event live, while millions of viewers are likely to have followed the races on television.
The finish line for the more than 50 races in the various disciplines was located on Bellerivestrasse at Sechseläutenplatz. This was transformed into a large fan zone with a stage for award ceremonies, spectator seating at the finish line, a main building with catering and a VIP tent. The major event was overshadowed by the fatal accident involving the young Swiss rider Muriel Furrer. The large-scale road closures in the Bellevue Stadelhofen, Seefeld and Witikon areas and far beyond the city limits during the nine days of the race were a logistical challenge and led to discussions and resentment among affected residents, businesses and the healthcare sector. Deliveries of goods and waste disposal had to be postponed to the night, as mobility was too restricted during the day. While some surgeries and businesses decided to take a holiday, trade, retail and catering businesses suffered varying losses depending on the sector and location. We believe that the impact of the international sporting event will have a lasting effect and that Zurich was perceived positively around the world.
