EWS and World Cup: No races in Canada, but a kick-off in Switzerland

The latest event victims of the Covid-19 pandemic are Mont Saint Anne and Whistler. The latter town traditionally holds an Enduro World Series race and recently had to cancel the race. Mont Saint Anne is the oldest member of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup calendar, but its organizers also had no choice but to cancel. Following these cancellations, the revised race calendars have been thinned out considerably and Zermatt is the opening race of the Enduro World Series.

Due to the current pandemic (Covid-19) in connection with the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has had to announce that the fifth round of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, which was due to take place from 21 to 23 August in Mont-Sainte-Anne (Canada), has been canceled at the request of the organizers.
The organizers will announce when or whether the Swiss World Cup will be held in Lenzerheide at all at the end of May, after the next decision by the Federal Council. The next unchanged date in the UCI World Cup calendar is the races in Val di Sole from September 11 to 13, 2020.

Enduro Fall Series
The Enduro World Series has also had to cancel several races so far, and now also the classic in Whistler. This means that the EWS event in Zermatt is the opening race on the revised calendar, although the date of August 30 is still the last day of the federal 1000-person rule. If the races can take place after that, Finale Ligure will hold the Trophy of Nations on September 26/27, followed by the postponed event in Olargues (FRA) in October and Petzen/Jamnica in the border region of Austria and Slovenia later in the same month. The season will then extend into late fall and spring in South America. The last two races will take place on November 6 and 7 in Manizales, Colombia, and November 14 and 15 in Farellones, Chile.
