The 2020 Italian Championships have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The championships were due to take place in Vicenza from June 14-21, but Italian federation president Renato Di Rocco told Il Corriere dello Sport that the event has now been postponed as competition is unlikely to resume before August.

"If things go well, we could get back to racing in August, maybe at the end of July, but I don’t think before that," Di Rocco said.

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.
