(Reuters) – Polish-backed women’s World Tour cycling team CCC-Liv have pulled out of this week’s resumption of racing because of concerns about health risks, the team said on Thursday. Women’s racing is returning from a five-month pause caused by the COVID-19 pandemic with two one-day events in Spain, the Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa and Clasica Femenina Navarra.

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The American pro cycling team Rally Cycling has created an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of professional athletes and support staff in isolation. COVID-19 has upended livelihoods, schedules, and goals with no clear answers. It has forced many to re-think their habits and adjust to new conditions. Like all sports, it brought bike racing to a complete standstill. Unlike other sports, the members of Rally Cycling live all over North America, untethered from a ‘home’ city or training facility. With racing on indefinite pause, the pandemic presented a host of new challenges and opportunities for growth for all of…
The Sibiu Tour began, and the season resumed, with a short 2.5km Prologue through technical, cobbled streets. It was a victory for… well, a whole bunch of lads with truly excellent names. We had Kacper. And we had Iustin. But in first place was Nikodemus Holler.

It was a fantastic ride, and the biggest win of his career so far. Top Ten 1Nikodemus Holler (Ger) BikeAid0:03:352Kacper Walkowiak (Pol) CCC…
