The coronavirus pandemic has thrown the planning of the Swiss championships into disarray. Because numerous cycling champions are usually crowned in the first half of the summer, new dates and/or new organizers have had to be found for many events.

Swiss Cycling found what it was looking for in cross-country. The Swiss Championships in the Olympic mountain bike discipline will take place on the weekend of July 25/26 as part of the Proffix Swiss Bike Cup in Gränichen. The remaining new competition dates for the national race series will be published next week. Gränichen already hosted the Swiss Championships in 2019, with Jolanda Neff and Nino Schurter succeeding in the elite category.

The national champions in the mountain bike marathon will be determined either as part of the Eiger Bike Challenge in Grindelwald (August 8/9), the National Park Bike Marathon in Scuol (August 29) or the O-Tour Bike Marathon in Alpnach (September 13). Originally, the marathon championship was to have been held at the BerGiBike on June 27. However, the marathon classic in the canton of Fribourg had to be canceled.

Swiss Cycling is considering holding Swiss championships in the up-and-coming mountain bike discipline of Enduro for the first time. Zermatt is a possible host. Initial discussions on this have already taken place.
