The governing body for cycling in France has announced the cancellation of all events in the country with immediate effect.
The pack rides during the 227 km, 5th stage of the 78th Paris - Nice cycling race stage between Gannat and La Cote-Saint-Andre, on March 12, 2020.

It was earlier thought that Paris-Nice would finish with Saturday's queen stage after ASO announced the cancellation of Sunday's final stage.
However now all sporting activity has been suspended in France.
Yet incredibly despite this the race organisers ASO seem to be insisting that the race will be concluded.
The news comes just hours after Bahrain-McLaren pulled their riders out of the race.
