• Not all is bad. Gran fondos are actually occuring as usual, like the GF Garda Bottechia. There was quite a bit of wind at the start, but the event took off. The weather cleared and there were eventually 380 finishers. More photos can be found on their Facebook page. 

• And another big name gone. Espace Cycles, one of Belgium's two GF's, has been cancelled.

• La ronde Tahitienne (by Cycling Classics France) will not be organized.

• The Ride Around Graz (intended date April 23-25) has been cancelled and will be a do-it-yourself event. 

• The GF Vosges will decide on 24-3 whether the event will go ahead. It doesn't look good, but we are holding out hope.

• Le Raid des Alpilles has been postponed to 10-10.

• GF Dieci Colli postponed from April 25 to October 17.

• Cyclo Sud Bourgogne postponed from 24-04 to 07-08.

• Elfmerentocht and Hel of Klimmen cancelled.

• There are not just cancellations. There are also events coming up. For example, the GFNY Sante Fé returns after a year of absence. The date: 19-9.

• Bikingman Corisca moved to 7-6. Bikingman Aura moved to 9-8. 

• GF Schleck moved to 25-9.
