Although many countries cancelled their 2020 national championships because of the coronavirus pandemic there were still quite a few riders crowned champion of their country around the world.
Normally there are 248 nations holding national championships but this year's list is down to under 40.
Riders heading into the Tour de France in their new national champion's jerseys include Spain's Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Denmark's Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-Quickstep), and Italy's Giacomo Nizzolo (NTT).
Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
