Nottinghamshire Police will be offering support as the race makes its way through the borough.
Chief Inspector Jon Foy, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “While the plan is to keep traffic delays to a minimum there is likely to be some disruption as the riders pass through Nottinghamshire.
“Our trained officers will be out supporting the race and will be on hand to assist where needed.
“We are recommending for drivers to leave themselves plenty of time for their journeys on Thursday and to set off earlier to minimise disruption.
“Anyone driving to and from spectating points should also allow plenty of travel time if they are moving to different locations and, where possible, spectators should park well away from the route.”
