The Tour de France’s departure in Copenhagen has been pushed back a year to 2022, APA reports citing BBC.
The Grand Départ was scheduled for 2021 but has been moved to avoid a clash with Euro 2020 games which are being held in the city next year.
Euro 2020 was rescheduled to next year due to coronavirus.
Copenhagen Mayor Frank Jensen said: “Many of us have been looking forward to getting the Tour de France to Denmark next year, and now we unfortunately have to wait a little longer.
“On the other hand, Danes can look forward to an even bigger bang of a yellow folk festival in 2022, when the Tour start will not be squeezed by the European Championships and the Olympics and we have hopefully got the coronavirus at a greater distance”.
There were due to be three stages in Copenhagen – a 13km (8 mile) time trial and two road stages.
