Fourty-eight hours after announcing the main principles that will shape the revision of the UCI International
Road Calendar in view of the resumption of the 2020 season in the context of the coronavirus, the Union
Cycliste Internationale (UCI) today announces the framework for the other disciplines.
Faced with the continued spread of the virus, notably in Europe, and in the context of restrictive measures
adopted by a number of countries banning gatherings and movement of people, the UCI underlines that as
world cycling’s governing body, it puts absolute priority on the security of athletes and all people present
at events on the UCI International Calendar.
Conscious at the same time that the current health situation deprives cyclists of opportunities to race and
train, the UCI, in its concern for sporting equity, has taken the following decisions:
- Suspension of all classifications for all events on the UCI International Calendar until further notice
but at least until 30 April - Concerning requests for the postponement of events, priority will be given in order to:
UCI World Championships, UCI World Cups, Continental Championships, National
Championships, events on the UCI International Calendar
Moreover, the UCI gives a reminder that for the qualification procedure for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and
Paralympic Games, still ongoing for mountain bike, BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle and para-cycling, the UCI
took the decision to ask the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic
Committee (IPC) to stop the qualification period retroactively as of 3 March 2020, given that up until this
date, no nation had been prevented from attending events. With this strong decision, the UCI ensures
sporting equity for the allocation of Olympic and Paralympic quotas.
The UCI will continue to play its role as cycling’s governing body for the families of our sport with the
double priority of health protection and sporting equity. In this period of uncertainty, the International
Federation will continue to closely follow the situation and take appropriate measures in the interests of
our sport. It calls on the solidarity of all to come through these difficult times together.
