The videos coming from the circuit leave no room for doubt. Under those conditions, it is impossible for the race to take place.

Moreover, taking into account the weather forecast for the next hours and the sunset at 17:00, it is not possible to postpone the two planned races (Elite Women and Elite Men).

Ensuring the safety of our athletes, fans and all staff remains our top priority in making this necessary decision. We thank all stakeholders for their understanding and cooperation.
