Having cancelled Strade-Bianche that was due to go ahead tomorrow, Saturday, RCS Sport has done the same with Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-Sanremo.
The events are all cancelled due to the growing
coronavirus in Italy, and indeed Europe, but RCS Sport is requesting the UCI
find dates for them later in the season.

“Following the confirmation by the relevant authorities
that they are unable to grant appropriate authorisations, RCS Sport announces
that the cycling race Tirreno-Adriatico, scheduled for 11-17 March, is
cancelled from its original dates,” the group said in a statement on Friday.
“Furthermore, as the appropriate authorities have verified that suitable conditions do not exist for them to be unable to guarantee… the safeguarding of public health and the safety of all the people involved, RCS Sport has made the decision to cancel Milan-Sanremo, scheduled for 21 March, and Il Giro di Sicilia, scheduled for 1-4 April.
“RCS Sport will request the UCI, via the Italian Cycling Federation, to allocate new dates on the international cycling calendar for the three races, as has already been requested for Strade Bianche and Strade Bianche Women Elite.”
