RideLondon Classique cancelled
Dubai Women's To⛄ur also reportedly off the calendar

The RideLondon Classique, 🎉168澳洲5最新开奖结果:scheduled as part of the Women's WorldTour for May 31, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic,🧸 it was announced on Friday.
It was also reported on Friday th𝄹at the Dubai Women's Tour has been cancelled, leaving the women's peloton with a dearth of early-season racing opportunities.
The organisers will not look to hold the race at a later date, making for a two-year absence after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:last year's cancellation and lea🍬ving the 2021 Women's WorldTour with 19 of its 22 events following the cancellation of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and Itzulia Basque Country.
A statement was made on Friday to announce the cancellation of the RideLondon festival of cycling, which features a mass-participation ride. No mention was made of the Classique but the organisers later confirmed to Cyclingnews that the race will not happen this year.
"We know it is very disappointing news that the events planned for May cannot take place, especially for charities, as more than £80 million has been raised for good causes since the first event in 2013," said event director Hugh Brasher. "However, I am sure everyone understands why this decision has been made and we look forw🎉ard to welcoming participants and the professi💯onal peloton to ride the streets of London in 2022."
RideLondon had been part of the Women's WorldTour since its first edition in 2016, but was dropped from♐ the top-tier series in 2020. That edition ultimately did not take place but, even as th♔e men's event was scrapped altogether, it returned to the Women's WorldTour for 2021, until Friday.
Kirsten Wild won 🏅in 2016 and 2018, with Coryn Rivera triumphing in 2017 and Loreno Wie♒bes in 2019.

Also on Friday, another blow to the women's calendar was reported, as Italian national coach Dino Salvoldi told La Gazzetta dello Sport that the Dubai Womeꦜn's Tour - 🍃scheduled from February 5-8 has been cancelled.
The race was first held last year, when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lucy van der Haar won, but now joins the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Setmana Ciclista Valenciana, Vuelta CV Feminas in the growing list of early-season races to be scrapped. The new Itzulia Basque Country Women's WorldTour event planned for May 14-16 is now listed as postponed, as is Ronde van Drenthe, which has 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:requested an October date.
"This worries everyone," Salvoldi said. "From here we had planned to go to Dubai, but the race was cancelled, and the same happened for two races in Spain in Valencia. We as a national team will return to༺ do two sessions a week at the Montichiari velodrome. But it won't be easy to cover a month just with training."
