Next few rumours: Tour de France in August, Vuelta a España in September, Giro d'Italia in October.

 

Yeah, don't see that happening :p

Obviously UCI's text is rather optimistic since for example France has no end to a lockdown yet, but only an extension like most countries, but alright.

 

---

 

-The period of suspension of competitions on the UCI International Road Calendar was extended by one month, until 1st July, and until 1st August for UCI WorldTour events.

-The Tour de France is postponed and will take place this year from 29 August to 20 September. Holding this event in the best conditions possible is judged essential given its central place in cycling’s economy and its exposure, in particular for the teams that benefit on this occasion from unparalleled visibility.

-The 2020 UCI Road World Championships in Aigle-Martigny (Switzerland) are maintained at the scheduled dates, 20-27 September. The competition programme does not change.

-The Giro d’Italia will take place after the UCI Worlds and will be followed by the Vuelta Ciclista a España.

-The National Championships, organised by the National Federations, will take place on the weekend of 22-23 August.

-The UEC European Road Championships are maintained.

-The most prestigious one-day road races (the Monuments), ie Milano-Sanremo (Italy), the Tour des Flandres (Belgium), Paris-Roubaix (France), Liège-Bastogne-Liège (Belgium) and Il Lombardia (Italy), will all take place this season, at dates still to be defined.

-As many events as possible on the UCI International Calendar, and notably the UCI WorldTour, will be rescheduled later in the season.

So world champs right after the Tour, immediately followed by the Giro and the Vuelta, meaning the Vuelta will likely end somewhere in November :d And five monuments have to be pushed in between all that as well, good luck.

So UCI's plan is to have the whole season crammed into 2 months. That seems smart :d

 

What could possibly go wrong? :d 

 

We might have days with like a mountaintop finish in the Vuelta and Paris-Roubaix going on at the same time or something :lol:

Rumour that's going around:

 

11 October: Ronde van Vlaanderen
18 October: Paris-Roubaix
31 October: Il Lombardia
8 November: Liege-Bastogne-Liege

 

Milan-San Remo could be in August already. Of course all these dates of the GT's and this etc are only provisional and depending on the situation.

 

Meanwhile the UEC is talking about moving up the European championships....can't they just cancel that stuff? It's not prestigious in any way, just leave it out for a year (or more).

This is exactly how not to handle things this year. Expecting that there will be a date when everything will instantly turn back into normal so to allow this cramped up schedule is utterly nonsensical.

 

You just can't have it all this season...

    • yeah you are right there but again diffrence between being a runner who has her own event, plenty of events can happen there,and being a pole vaulter that has his own event,that goes on it's own,i mean mondo's shown he can run so i guess some sprinting events could take place there but still but i get your point
    • Yeah but you have things like the Keely Klassic which was not all female 800m races.  
    • ''PV Only'-''mondo classic'',feel like it's a bit pointless to even say pv only,it's kinda obvious lol.knew this was happening but seriously waiting for this,especially since i'll be able to watch it live,so glad eurovision sport is so easy to get access to.
    • One more big European meet before the Worlds, the Mondo Classic from Uppsala = PV only - tomorrow night.   Eurovision Sport | Uppsala | Mondo Classic

We will know the finalists tomorrow.   If two teams ends up on the same points, the mutual match between the two teams will be decisive for their placements. If 3 teams ends up on the same points, the goal difference in the matches between only these three teams will be decisive.
    • Oh, how nice, i didn't know. Yes, we like Italians very much, similar emotionality? Ways of expressing? Sth like this. As to Russia and Germany. The things they had really done to us are pretty unbelievable and unforgivable. I think that most people in Europe know this in theory, we felt it in reality. But we still try not to cross borders, we don't live with hatered. Maybe we should. When my mom was telling me real facts from WWII in Poland well...i was close to be ready for revenge on some Germans. But its not Polish charachteristic, maybe our mistake. And yes, Poland was peaceful internaly up to some 2007/8. Then PiS started to divide this nation, telling who is Polish who is not etc. You are either a real Pole Cathol or traitor left wing gay. Luckily they had lost but our nation is strongly divided, like two nations. We all miss this old united Poland but are living like enemies. Really. Both camps see this second as national traitors, idiots of Kaczyński or Tusk (go to Berlin etc). Probably foreigners are free of this but Poland has changed through those years. Italy seems to be lovely place to live. Not ideal, impossible, but lovely. 👍 Btw, our prime minister already in Ankara 🙂🙂. To be true we made historical mistakes. Our neighbours were in bad position, we were like empire. But were to slavic, to naive. We created some of our neighbours, lost Ukrainiians to Russia so it is not bad luck, rather bad mistakes.
