According to the most recent press release of the UCI, the Tour de France will start in August, while the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana only after the World Championship (20-27 September 2020).
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.
