The UCI, the
organization that regulates world
cycling, has announced a new calendar of events with which it intends to
recover, in the second half of 2020, the races that in recent months have not
been able to run because of the Coronavirus.
The calendar has been decided together with the companies that organize all the
main races and starts from the assumption that in a few months the restrictions
currently in force in most of Europe will be at least eased.
According to the new UCI
calendar, the Tour de France, the most important cycling race in the world, will take place from 29 August to 20
September. To follow, from 20 to 27 September, there will be the World Championships on the road, in
turn followed in October by the Giro d'Italia. The UCI has also planned that
the most important one-day races - such as Milan-Sanremo, the Tour of Flanders
or Paris-Roubaix - will be recovered, but has not yet provided any dates.
The calendar is part of an attempt to restart and reorganize,
but as we have seen in recent months, it is not certain that the forecasts made
today may still be valid in a few weeks or months.
