The European Road Cycling Championships, which were due to take place in the Italian province of Trentino, have been postponed until next year.
The UCI has pushed back the event, which was set to be held in September because of the coronavirus pandemic and have confirmed that Italy will retain staging rights for the rescheduled race in 2021.
"Due to the difficult situation affecting the whole world, the Union Europeenne de Cyclisme must announce that the European Road Championships in Trentino (Italy) from 9 to 13 September will be postponed to 2021 and will be held in the same city," the European Cycling Union (UEC) announced in a statement.
"The dates between the options requested (1-5 September 2021 or 8-12 September 2021) will be announced in the next few months by the Union Cycliste Internationale when it publishes the 2021 calendar."
They added that they'll "look at the various alternatives for the 2020 European Road Championships and UEC calendar events this season so that all titles in each category can be awarded in all disciplines".
Vuelta a Espana organisers have already decided to cancel their planned start in the Netherlands and have reduced the Grand Tour event to just 18 stages.
The Tour de France has been pushed back until the 29th of August while the Giro d'Italia has also been pushed back to later in the season.
