FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine to miss Challenge by La Vuelta due to COVID-19 risks
Route still to be announced for final Women's WorldTour♑ race

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope team have announced they will not take part in the three-day 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ceratizit Madrid Chalꦛlenge by La Vuelta, which is due to bring down the curtain on the Women's🐼 WorldTour season next week, due to concerns about the safety of their riders and staff.
The Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta 2020 is due to be held between the 6th and 8th of November and coincide with the final stage of the men's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España. However, with severe COVID-19 restrictions in many parts of Spain and espec🍎ially high case numbers💦 in Madrid, there are doubts about the event going ahead.
The Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelt🎃a is organised by Unipublic and Tour de France organiser ASO. Back in May, it confirmed the race would last three days but no details of tﷺhe route have ever been announced.
France began a nationwide lockdown on Friday and that was also a factor in FDJ Nouvelle-A💦quitaine's decision not to race.
"Following the latest government announcements and the evolution of the pandemic we have taken the decision to take no risk for our cyclists an꧂d staff," the team said in a brief announcement on social media.
"We have therefore decided to cancel our participation in the Challenge by La Vuelta from the 6th to the 8th of November🐲. We thank the organisers for their understanding in this as they are fighting to save the race, and we wish all participating teams the best 🍬success and safety."
Last year’s race consisted of two stages, with Lisa Brennauer winniꦕng overall.
