Tour de Pologne Mobile Village: Modernity and Comfort for Guests
The organization of the Tour de Pologne is a massive undertaking. The central point of each stage is a mobile race village located at the finish line of each stage. The way it’s built is innovative on a scale unprecedented in Polish sports.
Time and good logistics are key. The equipment that is set up at the finish line in Bukowina Tatrzańska on Saturday needs to be in Kraków by Sunday. And it has to be there early because the Tour de Pologne isn’t just for professionals. It also includes the Junior series and serves as a meeting place for cycling fans who want to follow the stage’s events from there. The mobile village must be swiftly transported and set up in each subsequent city.
“When thinking about the finish line of the Tour de Pologne, we have to combine many worlds. For the fans, we have primarily the podium area. This is a new feature in this year’s race. We’ve replaced the decorative shell with a modern trailer that transforms into a 13-meter wide stage. Before the stage winners appear on it, fans can watch the race on three large screens,” says Adam Siluta, Marketing Director of Lang Team, who is responsible for organizing the finish line areas during the Tour de Pologne. It’s worth noting that the largest screen is a full 5 meters wide.
This is the first of four trailers provided by the Promokraft company for the Tour de Pologne finish lines. The second trailer, a two-story one, serves as the journalists’ workspace. Its official partner is Zondacrypto. It houses about 30 workstations for the media covering the race, with access to live satellite internet, power, and of course, the Tour de Pologne broadcast-all in comfortable, air-conditioned conditions.
The trailer is multifunctional-besides the press office, it also includes a modern commentary booth where Piotr Sobczyński and Bartosz Huzarski commentate the race for Polish Television, a mini-office for Lang Team, and an accreditation center.
The third trailer is known as the VIP Club, partnered with Soudal and Totalizator Sportowy. Here, guests, partners, and the Tour de Pologne family watch the race. Catering of the highest quality is provided by Body Chief. An undeniable attraction is the terrace, from which VIP Club guests can watch the final meters of the stage. This mobile zone is usually set up right at the finish line, so there’s no better place to admire the victories of the Tour de Pologne heroes.
The fourth important point at the finish line is the commentary trailer with booths for international television stations.
The entire endeavor is modeled after the biggest races in the UCI World Tour calendar, primarily the Tour de France.
“Anyone who comes to the Tour de Pologne finish line will see an innovative approach to organizing a major sports event. Year by year, we are expanding our offer for cyclists, guests, and journalists. Importantly, we prioritize safety. All trailers are very functional and can also be easily and quickly set up. Their weight and stabilization provide assurance during extreme weather conditions, which can never be completely ruled out. In short—we are ready for any circumstances,” assures Adam Siluta.
