Cycling Competition cancelled due to strong winds
The European Cyclo-cross Championships, scheduled to be held on Saturday, November 4, in Quelneuc, France, have been rescheduled for Sunday, November 5, due to the expected arrival of Storm Ciarán.
The Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC) made the decision to postpone the event on Friday afternoon, citing the potential for high winds and heavy rain, which could create dangerous conditions for riders and spectators alike.
Storm Ciarán is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to western Europe, with the worst of the weather forecast to hit France on Saturday. The UEC said that it did not want to risk the safety of riders or spectators, and that rescheduling the event for Sunday was the best course of action.
The European Cyclo-cross Championships are one of the most prestigious events in the sport, and feature riders from all over Europe competing for continental titles. The event is also a popular spectator event, with thousands of fans expected to attend.
The UEC has apologized for any inconvenience caused by the postponement, and has said that it will work with the organizers of the event to ensure that the rescheduled races are a success.
