The most famous cycling race in the world, the Tour de France, will not take place next year either. The “old lady” was supposed to be on the agenda from July 2 to 25, but she will leave a week earlier in view of the Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The International Cycling Union informed about it, which today published a calendar for the 2021 season.

The sports elite will fight for precious metals under five circles in Japan next year from July 23 to August 8. The Tour de France will end the last weekend before the start of the Olympic Games. In Tokyo, three days are reserved for road cycling races – July 24, 25 and 28.
Most likely, the Tour will not start in Copenhagen on June 26, as the football EURO was postponed to next year. The Danish capital is to be played at the end of June, and the Danes have so far rejected the collision of the two important events. The alternative alternative is to be Brittany, Copenhagen would then fall to the so-called Grand Départ in 2022.

Normally, the inaugural Grand Tour of the Giro d’Italia season will take place from May 8 to 30. However, the Vuelta was postponed, also a week earlier compared to the usual date. It will take place from 14 August to 5 September, with a view to a better follow-up to the European Championships (11 and 12 September) and subsequently to the World Championships, which should be organized by Belgium.
The WorldTour calendar includes a total of 35 races in 12 countries on four continents. It will start with the Tour Down Under event in the second half of January and end around mid-October in China.
