Boucles de l'Aulne "Le Télégramme" cancelled

The 6th edition of the Boucles de l'Aulne, scheduled for August 29, has been cancelled for financial reasons. The race's naming rights sponsor, newspaper Le Télégramme, announced that there was a budgetary shortfall of €40,000 for the 2005 edition, and decided not to hold it this year. It was to be the 14th round of the Coupe de France, which has also lost A travers le Morbihan on May 21.
