Extreme weather wrecks Cyclocross European Championships' schedule - No racing this Saturday

A new schedule to the cyclocross European Championships will be announced. Storm Ciarán has been dealing a whole lot of damage all throughout Western Europe, France included. Hence, several races will change schedule.
This was an idea that was already feared for several days as the damages from the storm were forecasted, and now felt. Not only the rain, but the extremely strong winds have been affecting the French coast - and Pontchâteau is right by the sea in Bretagne. This Friday will see the Mixed Relay event take place, however race organizers have as a precaution postponed racing for this Saturday.
The Women Junior, Men Under-23 and Women Elite events were to take place during this Saturday but the weather conditions will be too difficult. "Due to the extreme weather conditions forecast in Western France, the local authorities (Prefet de la Loire-Atlantique) have decreed that no events can be held tomorrow (4 Nov.)," the organization wrote. "All #EuroCross23 events will now be rescheduled for Sunday
A new schedule will be announced soon."

It is very likely that all six events will take place on Sunday, although this will most likely bring in logistical challenges that were not forecasted for organizers. Nevertheless, for the time being, it seems as if it will be possible to race on the final day of the weekend.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
