The Tour of Denmark in September has been cancelled because organisers feared the best Danish cyclists, at least, would be committed to the Tour de France on at the same time.
The Tour of Denmark was originally in mid-August, and requested new dates from the International Cycling Union. The governing body moved the tour to Sept. 1-5.
But the UCI also agreed to move the Tour de France to Aug. 29-Sept. 20.
Denmark has been reopening schools, shops, restaurants, and churches in the last two weeks, but the border remains closed to foreigners, and tour organisers aren't certain when they will reopen.
The organisers also say they aren't able to test all participants for Covid19, and prevent crowds along the route.
