Rigoberto Uran has suggested just three men's WorldTour teams would survive and if the 2020 Tour de France was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, warning the loss of the sport's biggest race would spark a "great economic crisis."  

The 33-year-old highlighted the problems for ordinary people in his native Colombia and said he felt especially sorry for the young riders entering the sport like his EF Pro Cycling teammates Dani Martinez and Sergio Higuita.
