  • The Giro di Lombardia, one of road cycling's five 'Monument' races, has been moved forward to August 15 from its traditional October date, the sport's governing body UCI announced on Friday. The Italian race, considered the most important of the autumn Classic races, has been shifted to the summer heat as cycling tries to reorganise a 2020 calender turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic. It will now take place just a week after Milan-San Remo, a spring Classic which is usually held in March but has been pushed back to August 8, and two weeks after the first race of cycling's return, the Strade Bianche in Tuscany. The new date for the Giro di Lombardia, confirmed in a UCI statement, means it risks missing out on big names as it overlaps with the Criterium du Dauphine, one of the most important preparatory races for the Tour de France, which this year begins on August 29. It is another move which will anger Italian cycling fans after the Giro d'Italia was shifted to October 3-25, when it will overlap with rival Grand Tour the Vuelta a Espana and three Monuments. The calendar shift comes as the UCI approved a new schedule proposed by the Professional Cycling Council, a body comprised of rider, team and race organiser representatives. Three races -- the Eschborn-Frankfurt, London-Surrey and Across Flanders -- have been cancelled for this year. Updated 2020 cycling calendar highlights: Grand Tours Tour de France (Aug 29-Sep 20) Giro d'Italia (Oct 3-25) Vuelta a Espana (Oct 20-Nov 8) UCI World Championships in Switzerland (Sep 20-27) One-week races Criterium du Dauphine (Aug 12-16) Tirreno-Adriatico (Sep 7-14) One-day races Milan-San Remo (Aug 8) Giro di Lombardia (Aug 15) Liege-Bastogne-Liege (Oct 4) Tour of Flanders (Oct 18) Paris-Roubaix (Oct 25) jm/td/mw
