As the ban on the sport is lifted the first race in France will be the Route d'Occitanie between Aug 1-4 followed by a one day mountain challenge at Mont Ventoux and then the Tour de l'Ain from Aug 7-9. Also packed into the programme is the shortened Criterium de Dauphine, between Aug 12 and Aug 16, and then the four-day Tour du Limousin from Aug 18.
The International Cycling Union insisted the dates would be constantly evaluated according to the health situation regarding the coronavirus pandemic in the country.
