The 2020 Tour de France is now set to take place Aug. 29 to Sept. 20, organizers say. The announcement comes a day after the Tour said it would be postponed.
"We all hope that the 2020 Tour de France will help to turn the page on the difficult period that we are currently experiencing," the Tour said in a statement.
Organizers have dismissed the idea of holding the tour but banning spectators from lining the course."The Tour de France is 3000km of smiles," Amaury Sport Organisation chief Christian Prudhomme has said,Because of the confinement measures in place, Prudhomme has said cyclists would need at least two months to get back into racing shape. Borders will need to be reopened so that cyclists from other countries can compete.
