The Sibiu Cycling Tour has been postponed until late July, moving back from its early-July slot – which would have made it the first UCI-ranked race of the new, revised calendar – due to concerns about what effect the coronavirus pandemic might continue to have on the staging of the competition.

"The 10th edition of the Cyclist Tour of Sibiu will take place from July 23-26, 2020," read a statement on social media from the organisers of the Romanian stage race on Wednesday.
