"Tour de France to run in August, Vuelta in September, Giro in October."
Baba Yaga goes home devastated!
He demanded a return to outdoor sports, now he has been betrayed by the national event.
UTMB next.
Crazy times.
Yeah, had hiking in Colorado with my older brother all booked. Probably scrubbed now.

None of these events are going to happen in 2020.
hard to believe that it would now take place Aug 2nd only 5 weeks later than scheduled and with usual crowds and no vaccine; a lot tougher to stage an event of this scale without crowds on public roads, compared to say soccer at a closed door facility that the public cannot access.

August 29-Sept 20. For now.
