With cycling on hold until at least June due to the coronavirus pandemic, desperate and perhaps overly optimistic race organizers scramble to find new dates for their events.
“All the races already scheduled for this period will have priority,” Tom Van Damme, president of the UCI road commission, told Het Nieuwsblad. “If RCS Sport wishes to replace one of its races with another, I do not see a problem. But it seems impossible to make everyone race in November.”
But here’s a leaked possible rescheduled calendar for the 2020 postponed races.
