Pas de Championnats du monde UCI Granfondo en 2020
Initialement prévus à Vancouver (Canada) durant la première semaine de Septembre, annulés dans le contexte sanitaire avtuel, ces Championnats auraient pu se tenir à Bintan (Indonésie) ou au Mexique. L’UCI et les autorités locales en ont décidé autrement face à l’incertitude toujours actuelle face aux risques du virus Covid 19.
Donc les Championnats du monde 2020, n’auront pas lieu.
Ci dessous le communiqué officiel (en Anglais) de l’organisation des UCFWS.
2020 UCI GRAN FONDO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS CANCELLED
The 2020 UCI Gran Fondo World Series season has been a difficult one and suffers like most sports events from the Corona-virus. Almost all events have been cancelled and also the World Championships in Vancouver have been cancelled some weeks ago. The UCI Gran Fondo World Championships will not be held in 2020 and will be postponed to 2021 in Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
Only three events will take place in the upcoming months and will count as qualifier event for 2021.
The first scheduled event is Maraton Franja where the tradition since 1982 will continue on Sunday 6 September with a 156 Granfondo and 100km Mediofondo around the capital city of Ljubljana. The time trial won’t take place this year.
Riders who are keen to test the 2021 World Championships course in Banja Luka can join the Granfondo Banja Luka on Saturday 3 October. The mediofondo is 88km long while the Granfondo is 130km with some climbs along the road. In 2020, there won’t be a time trial.
Amy’s Granfondo has its traditional event in September but will move to 8 November 2020 to experience the unique opportunity to ride a totally traffic free Great Ocean Road.
Additional events might be added to the calendar in September.
