Switzerland's government are set to make an announcement later on Wednesday about holding public events throughout the rest of the year.

And L'Equipe reports that the World Championships are likely to go ahead at the end of September.

Should Switzerland opt to maintain a prohibition on major sporting events for the time being, the cycling calendar could end up being rejigged.
