Japanese riders including Tour de France competitors Yukiya Arashiro, Fumiyuki Beppu and Nariyuki Masuda will enjoy an all too rare opportunity to race a UCI event on their home soil with local crowd support.
With sports cycling booming in Japan this is an unique opportunity for local cyclists to see champions of the Tour close up and local officials are using the event as leverage to improve cycling infrastructure in the city, having recently announced a plan to create a 200km network of bicycle lanes within 10 years as part of its commitment to ensure the safety of cyclists and to promote a bicycle friendly environment.
The Saitama Criterium by Le Tour de France will take place on October 26, 2013, and can be conveniently reached via Saitama Shintoshin station which services the Keihin-Tōhoku, Takasaki and Utsunomiya railway lines. Saitama's annual Cycle Festa will also be taking place on the day in the grounds of Saitama Super Arena.

It's not always motion that triggers the sickness. Smells, such as those of food or petrol, anxiety that it's going to happen may ensure it does and focusing on a nearby object, such as trying to read a book or a map, can make people feel queasy.Thanks for sharing the useful information.
