Our colleagues in the Caribbean have postponed their races, as has USA Cycling, and the UCI has paused all of their racing and training activities. “The duration of these pauses vary from a few weeks to two months, but in reality no one knows when this global concern will abate sufficiently to allow events to return to normal.”
