The route is on smooth fully closed private road, so hopefully there should be no issues with flat tires. However cyclists will face a few number of speed bumps on the route. A wheel station along the route will be provided for athletes who wish to put their spare wheels, if athletes do get a flat tire they should reach the station to change their wheel.
