The World Cycling Championships, which were to be held from September 20 to 27 in Aigle-Martigny, Switzerland, will not take place. On Wednesday, the Swiss Federal Council extended the limit of 1,000 people during major demonstrations until October 1. The organizers hoped for an easing of these restrictive measures in vain. The quarantine imposed on many nationals of countries at risk is also another obstacle to the holding of these Worlds. A relocation to Oman, Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, for a time mentioned, was swept away by David Lappartient, the president of the UCI, who assured "that there was no plan B" if these championships of the world could not be held in Switzerland.
