The European Road Cycling Championships scheduled for September in the Italian province of Trentino have been postponed by a year amid the Covid-19 crisis, the Union Europeenne de Cyclisme has announced.
"Due to the difficult situation affecting the whole world, the Union Europeenne de Cyclisme must announce that the European Road Championships in Trentino (Italy) from 9 to 13 September will be postponed to 2021 and will be held in the same city," a statement from the UEC read.
"The dates between the options requested (1-5 September 2021 or 8-12 September 2021) will be announced in the next few months by the Union Cycliste Internationale when it publishes the 2021 calendar."
With elite racing suspended until 1 August, the sport's flagship race, the Tour de France, was moved to a 29 August start date.
The UEC, however, said it would "look at the various alternatives for the 2020 European Road Championships and UEC calendar events this season so that all titles in each category can be awarded in all disciplines".
